3.5... Cute read about middle schoolers trying to figure out how to be good friends and people. The plot was a little bland but for the genre it makes sense. Emily and Patrick start texting and a sexy picture of her gets out to the whole school. Her two friends are there for her but they struggle to do the right thing while learning things about themselves in the process. I like how Rebecca Stead makes these strong characters that solve their problems with common sense instead of killing themselves or taking drugs. Very cute with a mystery twist thrown in. I like Stead's writing. She always makes the characters personable and human.

I always forget that I was young and these dumb little problems and judging are such a huge deal at the time. (except there was no social media in my time... it must be 100x worse now... God help those kids that can't deal with problems in a strong, sane way)
