Honestly it was a struggle to finish this. I don't understand the hype. I was bored threwout most of it. And it made me uncomfortable at some points.

The subject matter had an uncomfortable tone towards an underage female protagonist. It didn’t sit well with me personally.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a book!
This is such a cleverly written novel. Owens develops characters that you developed a really close understanding of. I felt like I knew Kya as a friend, and wanted to meet up with her again. 
The story didn't rush and the ending (Although unexpected) was beautiful. 
The development of the plot was so cleverly done, moving through the two separate time lines was well written so that it wasn't confusing but the earlier time helped develop and enhance the present. 
Additional characters didn't feel forced in and really added to the plot. 

A book I really enjoyed reading and cannot wait to watch the film now!
