If you asked me if I liked this book 300 pages in I would have said no. Honestly this book sucked. Boring and gross and depressing. But Mafi manages to once again make a full recovery in the end. I even cried. I hate to say it but the end was so sweet the whole gross Anderson thing seems less offensive.

Most of the story was a bit confusing and I wasn't really sure what was happening, but overall it was really good. The last page was my favourite out of the whole book!
