I kind of vomit at boys who drool over popular girls just because they are beautiful but who are clearly stuck up rude arrogant and narcissistic Do we really need to perpetuate even for a moment that physical appearance is a girl s primary attractor and that physical appearance in any way allows one to act like an a hole I m hoping that he learnt his lesson about the qualities of people worth your time not to mention the obvious value of rare jewelery but I have better things to read right now so while I thank the publisher for the ARC this is a DNF for me Ross Curnow Funny and heart warming Oscar is the hero every Year 7 needs in their life he doesn t always get things right but he is brave and he gives us hope Ross Curnow
