There are just about 806 reasons why Cynthia Weil's "806" should be your next read, but let me write about a few.
1) This book (in a broad sense) can be classified as a coming of age narrative where KT, Jesse, and Gabe (what a trio!) come to gain closure. In that regard, they also come to terms with themselves in who THEY are and what they eventually come to mean to each other.
2) It's a very real book. I use the words 'real' in the sense that Weil does aptly convey the language of youths, attitudes, and even the rough moments people have with their parents and with other people.
3) 806 explores a lot about the road. The road in which the trio drives along and ultimately the road of their own individual lives. Cynthia Weil does this in manner that is comprehensive for youths to really empathize with the characters and all of their inner conflictions.
