When I saw it was Realistic Fiction, I was intrigued because I usually avoid books like this. This book has good dialogues addressing problems that could be relatable. The writer has a nice and "easy to understand" style of writing. The play format is also very convenient. All in all, this is a good book and I would recommend it to whoever is interested in diving into Realistic Fiction. Nice job from the Author.
