Kids say the book is a fun and relatable summer read that captures the essence of adolescent romance, appealing especially to preteens and teens. However, it also faces criticism for its portrayal of superficial characters and themes of underage drinking, smoking, and some crude language, making it more suitable for mature young readers.
