I loved reading this piece because I was also a mean teen, though I usually only admit that to my own children :) In my opinion, Sue is a very skilled wordsmith, using enough detail to pull you in and a straightforward simplicity that keeps one moving along in the flow of the story. I've been told anytime something is easily read and digested (seemingly simple) you know that the writer has done the heavy lifting for you.
