It's rather dramatic, has a really interesting narrative style, and certainly explores some complex coming-of-age feelings.

Just wondering - what was bad/problematic with the books on boys and puberty?
Were there any parallels in what made them less enjoyable for you, or were they generally just subpar books?

Yes! That is a great series.
