1) The thing I liked most aboout the book, was the poems. I liked that he had a poem for almost every situation. They made a lot of sense and he didnt write them just to write them. If I could change something, I would probably change the gender of Jay. I know its a dumb thing to change, but I feel like I can relate more to the character if it was a girl, because I am a girl. (weird huh?) I disliked the fact that, he was in a zone where he felt like nobody liked him.
2) The main conflict in my book would probably be that he cant seem to keep long relationships, dealing with love and just friendship. He took the death of his friends pretty hard, and he stuck to Debbie, even though she was just using him. Even with Barry because of her Down Syndrome and he was kind of embarrased. The death and breakups lead him to being even MORE addicted to drugs than he already was. The internal conflict would be him trying to decide weather he should keep getting things for Debbie. The external conflict would probably be he made friends and fell in love with the wrong person.
