2.5
Plot seemed messy and all over the place, too much going on at once with various character's personal circumstances. Book needed to be longer and go into much more depth about various things to get the feel I think it was going for. Felt like I didn't have time to properly absorb or care about character details. Some of the dialogue and text was too on the nose. I love a good found family, creating your own meaning from life and facing it together sorry, but I didn't need to be beaten over the head with that being one of the main themes. I really wanted to like this book and finished it out of curiosity to see how it ended but I couldn't get into it and just didn't care like it wanted me to.
Graphic: Classism, Death, Gore, Injury/Injury detail, and Murder
Moderate: Car accident, Addiction, Bullying, Drug abuse, Drug use, Fire/Fire injury, and Panic attacks/disorders
