• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

hated the first 15 chapters and then fell in love so deeply with the book.
It's harsh and the way it's written makes you feel closer to the characters.
HOWEVER ?? the last plot twist was. not necessary :/
I like when things get really dark and stuff but

Nate's suicide

was just uncalled for.
Which is why I rated it 3.5 stars instead of a solid 4
