The ending is beautiful, I love the sentiment and the prose. Unfortunately in the rest of the book the characters are insufferable and disappointingly typically-2008 teenagers using ableist and homophobic slurs every third paragraph.

Vulgar. Over use of the r-word, and not sensitively. Boring. Forced enlightenment. Repeat of another book written by the same author. Outlandish. Unrealistic. Not a YA book.

I loved the writing style of this book.  The adventure and mystery was so entertaining to read.  It felt a bit ridiculous but it was so enjoyable to read.  Though the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I was hoping for.

A dead man is described in the beginning of the book and it's later learned he killed himself. This man becomes a central theme of the book. One of the main characters has worries the other main character is experiencing suicidal thoughts.
