 If I remind myself that it is a book and not real I am okay with everything for 4 whole seconds. This book was WOW but not always in a good way!! I wanted to love the characters but they all had MAJOR flaws, so I found myself not knowing who I was cheering for or what outcome I was hoping for. That being said the dram was so amazingly written that I read all 418 pages in one day; unwanting to put it down!! This book will be something I am torn over reading and a guilty pleasure all at the same time.

ofmeganreads's review against another edition

I just couldn’t. I read mixed reviews and as I continued to read, it just felt weird. I started this book because of the movie that’s coming out. I’ll wait for the movie to see how it is. But the obsession Travis begins to have is borderline creepy and scary. I don’t know if it gets better or if he learns, but still weird.
