What was your favorite part?
My favorite part was when Tyler finally got the girl of his dreams. 
Who was your favorite character? Why?
Tyler Miler is my favorite character in this book. The reason is because well he's sort of an outcast, and his life got very interesting, and what he did as well. 

Write a small summary (without giving away the ending)
Tyler Miller finally got the girl, but things turn for the worst. He became big but there was a party and of course the crowd and peer pressure over whelmed Tyler's crush/girlfriend...she became drunk and things were posted about her and produced a huge scandal that Tyler got mixed up in.  Lastly he got separated once again and wanted to end things permanently with himself.

Additional feedback (optional)
Amazing book. Loved it.

What was your favorite part?
My favorite part is when Tyler is ready to run away and he goes to get the gun from his dad’s room. Holding the gun in his hand and coming close to ending his life made Tyler realize that running away from his problems isn’t the answer and neither is death.
                       
Who was your favorite character? Why?
My favorite character is Tyler, because he goes through a lot in the story but he tries to make the right choices that will benefit those around him. Even if he wants something, he won’t do it if it’s not right. He demonstrated this at the Halloween party when he didn’t let things get out of hand with Bethany because she was drunk.

Tyler Miller was a loser until he got arrested. All of a sudden, he has a new image and the most popular girl in school is interested in him. But just when life starts to look good for him, it gets twisted and he has to deal with his grades, dad, girl, girl’s brother, and even the police.
