I’m so glad I re-read this book because it is absolutely one of my favourites ever.

I love the way Jenna writes as a start. There’s something about her style that flows well between a bloody mess and high emotions to comedy. I especially like how tense scenes were written. Even though I knew what was going to happen I still FELT the character’s anxiety.

The characters themselves were all compelling to me as well. Tobias felt like a realistic 22-year-old floundering in a dangerous situation he was unprepared for. All the other characters, even the ones we had less page time with, felt like real people. Some even felt like impactful losses, despite only knowing them for a short time. I think each played into the story well and I loved all of them. Even the ones I hated were fun to hate!

Having such well rounded characters also allowed for what felt like solid, well-done conflicts. I felt like you could really understand WHY these characters were butting heads and had miscommunications. It didn’t feel contrived or stupid, especially considering the ages of the characters.

Really my only complaint is that there wasn’t enough of Pippa. I love her, your honour.

Overall a GREAT read, I highly recommend!
