I really didn't like this book. The characters were unlikeable and got in their own way and that ultimately hindered them. They both are really terrible people that have been dealt a bad hand and don't make the most of it. Also Sam, is written as seemingly autistic and I don't think it was mentioned at all. So idk, I really didn't like it and don't get the hype.
