When I read the jacket of Good Enough, I was more than intrigued. It sounded like a little bit of mystery, a little bit of teen drama, and a healthy dose of discussion about a serious mental health issue. However, I found it lacking in every category. The story was mildly interesting, and the main character had strong character traits, but it really ended up being repetitive and lacking in depth.
Mason Buttle, however, was an interesting read filled with complex characters and an interesting story line. One of my colleagues said "it had a Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime kind of vibe. I loved Mason as a character and the mystery will be an easy sell,", and I think that sums up the appeal of the book. It was highly readable and I think it would garner a lot of interest, especially in the grade 6-8 crowd.
