This book was fine. LaCour employed a tactic that worked really well in We Are Okay--the quick flashbacks-to-present writing in one of the last chapter. I feel like this book would've been so much better with another 100 pages of better, deeper character development. The lack of character development really knocked like, 2 whole stars off for me. Don't know if I'd recommend this one. Kind of a disappointment coming from LaCour, though this book did come before We Are Okay.
