Honestly, I had no idea exactly where this story was heading and it was incredibly fun. I have to agree with everyone telling Jamie to run as far away from the Homeses as possible, even if I deeply sympathize with Charlotte. Immediately checking out the next book!

one thing that i didn't like though was how confusing the plot was at times. thinking back now having read this book a little while ago, i'm struggling to remember a whole lot of the major plot events. i think this is partially due to the fact that i didn't fully understand everything the first time. the ending especially confused me, but i'm really hoping that the next book with clear some things up. there also felt like there were just so so many characters to keep track of too which also make it difficult at times. despite, these few qualms, i am still eager to read the next book in the series, the case for jamie, (hopefully) sometime soon!!

Hated the ending with a passion.
I'm also a little conflicted about how the rape topic/aftermath is handled. These are teens, of course they don't know how to handle the situation in a healthy way and make lots of mistakes. And I understand why they want to try to resolve the issue on their own, although they are torn between what they want and the trauma. But please, at least consider the possibility of professional help at some point?!
