it never gets better

it only gets older

sometimes duller.

one that doesn't hurt anymore

just exists.

One fine day you woke up 

not the same,

an ache where there was none

now a part of you

follows you where you go

grows as you grow

older.

I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish.  It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book.  Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist -  angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to...
