This book is absolutely amazing! It's got everything! It's so funny and it really makes us realize that high school is exactly like this. It also has a twist in the ending that I honestly did not expect but in a way it made sense to go in the direction he went. Chris Colfer is an extraordinary writer and this book shows what he's capable of writing and how it can be turned into a feature film. Totally recommend it to everyone, you will not regret it.

This book deals wonderfully with the problems that teenagers go through in discovering themselves and moving into the adults they will become. The support the main characters give each other in amazing considering the differing worlds they come from in their school community. I read YA regularly as I teach this age level. It's a rare YA book that can hold my attention from start to finish, and this is just one of those books! This should be read by teens and adults alike. It would be a wonderful parent/teen book that could be used to open up discussions about marginalized kids at school, as well as for parent recollections of their own memories from school.

This book is geared to teens, but fifty-year old teens will love it too! After your kid reads this book, you'll definately want to read it yourself. I read the whole thing in one sitting!

My oldest daughter has been going through some troublesome times in her life. We have been up and down trying to find a way to help her and to hear us. As a teenager of course her parents do not know anything! We heard of this book, just the summary of it was inspirational to us. It almost said what we were saying, about boys, friends, school. Even touches on the topic of suicide. When the book came, I of course being a mom, had to read it first. I absolutely loved it( even after reading it a 5th time) Both of my daughters have both read it multiple times, and it has truly helped open up a line of communication with my oldest daughter. It is not a cure for teenage daughters but, surely a door opener. Talking to our children is so important, then we know how to listen too. I am so glad I made the choice to get this book! My daughters and myself are promoting to all who will listen!!!! Peter, thank you for your heart felt book! And thank you for writing it for your daughter and sharing it with the world!!!!

Comparing today's teenage generation with the teenage authors and contributors to this book, I am in awe.  I look at where I've allowed my own teenager's and tween's life to head and I am convicted to make some changes.  I sadly admit that I'm one of those people that don't expect much from a teenager.  I've let my son be content with his video games and doing average in school.

My son was once `on fire' for the Lord, praying and reading His Bible, asking questions, and even sharing God with others.  His desire has recently fizzled.  I've been convicted to make some changes in our household,  yet I've just sat here.  Reading this book has put some push behind my guilty conscience.  My son and I are going to read this book together and hopefully he'll see where he can make some improvements with how he uses his God-given time here on earth.

Being written by teenagers, this book doesn't feel threatening, like a parent pointing a finger.  Instead, the teenager reading the book should feel some positive peer pressure to do something more with his or her life.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for my honest review.

This is the kind of book we need to give to our teenagers today. They can relate in the realest way possible. The pressures of peers, drugs, sex, the macho attitude, and lonliness. It tells of a boy and many others who just want someone to love them. It tells of how God uses other people to help these teenagers see that they are truly NOT alone. God loves them, no matter what crimes they've committed, or what kind of darkness is in their heads and hearts. Nicky Cruz shares his life with us in the most open way. He helps you see how his life was transformed from one of gang life to a wonderful life with a wife, children, and a mission to help other who were just like him. I highly recommend it. Even if you don't believe in God or His awesome power, you will still be able to relate to Nicky. I guarantee you'll be rooting for him and will feel joy in his life-changing moments. He is truly a man touched by God.

Anyone with a teenager(s)in the house should do whatever is neccessary to make the time to read this book! I am only a few pages from finishing this book and this is as close to an "OWNER'S MANUAL" about teenagers as you're going to get. It will help you to better understand what's going on inside your amazing teen and enable you to help him/her through a most awkward (not to mention dangerous) stage of life.  I wouldn't make your teen aware that you're reading this though, because there's alot of great info that a parent needs to know but may not want the teen to know that you know, if you know what I mean.  And if you remember being a teen and think that will help you dealing with your teen, guess again.  The problem is that when we were teens we didn't know the reasons for all the things that went on in our bodies as well as our lives. This book makes it all crystal clear, and understanding is the key to safety and harmony for you and your teen. If you love them and would like to regain your sanity read this book ASAP!

This book was Amazing!! I think EVERYONE needs to read this book. A wonderful YA story about friendship turning into love and the hardships that comes with family troubles. This book was so amazing it's hard to put into words how I feel about it. I thought this book was wonderful and I think everyone needs to read it. I honestly love this book. It is so good. This book has you feeling strong emotions. It is slow-burning and so cute. It is worth every minute to read it. This book deals with things that are not written about enough in romance novels especially YA novels that I have seen.

Cass and Issac both have their own issues that they have to deal with. When Issac comes to her school she doesn't want to like him. He is hot but he acts super cocky at first and that does not do it for her. Then she got to see past his cocky facade and she ended up liking the guy he really is. They become friends and they both agree that is all it can ever be. They are both seniors and starting a relationship would be too messy right before they graduate and go their separate ways. They end up spending a lot of time together and become best friends. With all the troubles they are having with their family they lean on each other. The connection is there and their feelings of friendship are becoming so much more.

I love Issac and Cass. They are both wonderful characters!  This deals a lot with family heart-aches along with falling in love for the first time. This book may be YA but I know people of all ages will love this story and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that EVERYONE reads this book! I loved this book so much!

I bought this book and fell in love with the message so much that I passed it on to a friend's teenaged daughter. She doesn't speak any Spanish at all, but came back to me completely blown away by the book. We sat, discussed the book, the situations the characters got into, some of the cultural themes, and she thanked me so many times for giving it to her to read. I am going to get this for my 15 year old niece too!

What an incredible book! Beautifully, written. Profoundly important. Should be mandatory reading for teens, especially those of middle school age. This story is relatable to readers of all ages, and it offers perspective and hope. I love the friendships Joshua made and how through finding a support system, he was able to stop the bullying. But it takes a team. It takes friends who will be by your side; it takes teachers willing to take action; it takes school staff with zero bullying tolerance; it takes communication on the part of the victim; and it takes parents who are willing to do what it takes to protect their child. No child can handle this alone. Unfortunately, every school has a Brent and a Rhonda. It's up to us as a society to make sure bullies never have the opportunity to hurt other kids. As teachers/parents/adults we must LISTEN and take action!

Kudos to the author for including resources in the back of the book for anyone seeking help with bullying.

This book is amazing along with the other books in the series. I never used to like reading and for a summer reading book i decided to pick what i thought was the smallest book which happened to be the bully out of the bluford series. Literally 3 days later i bought the whole series off the internet. Until we meet again is a book that relates so much to the problems us teens face today. The vivid details in each scene and the descriptions of the main character Darcy's feeling make the book so addicting. Parents, if you want your children to start reading i STRONGLY recommend giving them this book. If i had 3 hands i would give the book 3 thumbs up!

I don't review many items on Amazon, but this book is special.  Teens drive parents crazy; but if you follow the suggestions in this text, and listen to its message, I suspect that you, like me, will find yourself parenting with new skill and renewed inspiration.  I can't recommend this highly enough. I shared my copy with several friends, all of whom are parents of teenagers, and everyone was wowed.  You will get practical hints. You will learn to separate what's important and what's not; you will learn when to communicate, when to listen, and how to discipline. You will see the mistakes you've made, and learn to correct them.  Simply awesome.
