   This is a relatively realistic portrayal of high school life among many campus novels. It features the awkward ambiguity of adolescence, bright and flamboyant teenagers, a lot of funny and sarcastic friends and besties, self-study sessions that cannot be skipped, and top students who don't get good grades easily. Everyone has a very positive outlook, and the author's writing is also very good. 😄 After reading it, I felt like the whole world was brighter. Highly recommended!
