Good story about teenaged angst. Set in a boarding school, meaningful interactions with parents or other adults is limited - and the lovable main characters run off the rails a little (a lot) with smoking, drinking and student pranks.

The book takes a very serious turn when everything goes wrong.

A story of friendship before, during and after a life-altering crisis. A good read. I found it a little depressing.
