Non-notable novel, no reason to suggest notability.  Jay Jay Talk to me 03:57, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - There are sources, but no significant coverage and most sources only provide a basic plot summary. It also fails to meet any of the criteria in WP:BKCRIT. Nimuaq (talk) 11:00, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The trade reviews are dodgy, but there has been no official consensus on whether or not they would be considered trivial coverage. Even without those, the book has still been reviewed or mentioned by several literary journals and was made an ALA pick. It's light, but there's just enough to where I'd say this passes WP:NBOOK.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   14:43, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm also finding where the book is mentioned in more than a few "these books are the best for your students" books, which suggests that the work is utilized in classrooms and/or school libraries., , , , , . It's also listed in multiple articles and journals as being an example of the grittier teen literature. I didn't link to many of these in the article, as I wanted to show more meatier examples and listings in the article for now. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   14:54, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
