"The conclusion felt off and unsatisfactory, there were a lot of loose ends. The real good part of this book were the characters, I liked that they weren’t sugar-coated. They had flaws and those flaws weren't brushed off."

"Kids grow up quicker than we think and this book did a wonderful job of seeing life through their eyes and even addressing our own inner child. Suspenseful and impactful. "
