Why We Rated This for Ages 14–16

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Acting spoiled, selfish, lazy, self-involved -- typical negative teenage behavior is on display here, but this novel takes the behavior to new heights. The majority of the book is spent avoiding responsibility and whining.
• Role models:

  There's little to admire in the young characters, and the adults are often overwhelmed or frustrated to the point where they miss much of what's going on in the school.
• Violence:

  While only one incident of violence plays out in the novel, the level of violence is shocking and horrific.
• Sex:

  There is mild flirting and discussion of two girls who are presumed to be gay.
• Language:

  Some mild swearing like "ass" and "bitch." One girl uses a slur to describe two girls who may be lesbians.
• Consumerism:

  A few mentions of brand names like Juicy and M.A.C.
