I'm 22 and certainly not a girly girl. This was a friends suggestion and I started watching it with no small amount of trepidation.
And I was very happily surprised! The characters have more depth than I've come to expect from teen dramas and having watched a several episodes of the O.C and various series of a similar vein I have to say - This blows them out of the water.
The main character is also a fabulous role model for any younger teens watching the series, its truly refreshing to see a strong character with a bit of bite and without the vain flailing most series seem to give their female leads.
The biggest praise I can give is to tell anyone reading to -watch- it. No matter age or anything else, give it a try.
