Trav, Buck and Kate seemed to be the three amigos who stayed together through thick and thin. As time went by, and high school came into play, they began to realize they weren't as close as they thought. Buck always thought his friends would fall in love one day and leave him out, but Kate and him miss some crucial signs from their friend. Trav cannot take the pressure of life and soon commits suicide.
I liked the book because it gave different perspectives of high school from students of different socio-economic status. It incorporated the change of times and rise of urbanization. It is an easy opening for suicide topics and seeing the signs. John Green's "Looking for Alaska" could be the modern-day version of it...
