Ms. French, when interviewed about the book, commented shrewdly and succinctly when she said, "I think adolescence is the same place no matter where you go to school, whether you're a boy or a girl. It is a strange, supercharged zone where reality's borderlines aren't as fixed as they are for adults and everything is critically important because you're desperately trying to figure out who you are, but who you're going to allow to define that . You need to find a balance."
