In reading my book, it's easy to get really involved with the story. Because of the way it's formatted (memo/transcript/journal entry) the story moves along quickly, but sometimes you get lost. Besides the way it's written, the story in general engages you. You think you can easily predict it, but sometimes your predictions are wrong, so it keeps you guessing.
The vast number of characters also keeps you engaged. Though it's just one person actually telling the story, there are 8 other characters constantly being mentioned, and in order to understand the story you have to keep the characters stories straight. As well as the other things, the writer has also presented you with the kind of main character you don't know whether to love or hate. Throughout the book I couldn't figure out which one I was feeling, so it was constantly changing, despite that, I do like the main character in general, she just has some extremely annoying habits that make me want to slap her a little. Despite that, you can still connect with her feelings and you get to know her.
This book also has the 'high school drama' appeal that engages me. The fighting between people, and the betrayal of friends keeps me interested.
