I enjoyed this book until it abruptly ended.  Literally refreshed my kindle twice to make sure there wasn’t a glitch.  Other than that, I enjoyed the writing.  It was sometimes hard to switch between the alternating chapters, but I appreciated seeing the perspective of each main character.  Worth reading but expect the ending.  3.5 stars

YA fiction with diverse characters

Great book. Wish the dialogue of the black characters weren't so blatantly stereotypical. It sounded like they wanted the black characters to sound like they were from the 70's and 80's. There was an overuse of slang language to sound "hip" and "relevant" and to make sure the readers knew the characters were black. As if all black people speak like that. It was off putting.
