I read this because my teen neighbor talked about how she loved this book and that she's not a reader but this book made her want to read. I listened to the audio version. It's set in the "80's when I was a teen. It's a very realistic story and sometimes because of the desperation in Eleanor's life it can get painful to read. I would say this would be a great story for mature students. Very mature students. It's a great story. If you like John Green books, then this would be a story you would enjoy as well.
