this is the worst book i have ever tried to read, i bearly made it to the middle of the book and that was 3 years after i bought and started it. So yeah, super bad, nothing interesting really happens till that point, i dont reallly know if something interesting like a fight againt other gangs or sth comes up after the middle part of the book cause till that point the only thing they did was smoke weed and eat mushrooms or do shit.

This novel is the definition of rebellion! Not just against authority, but against society, against everything you've ever known, against even yourself. This brilliant teen story is about stumbling into your future like you'd stumble into a pothole, and it has a shape shifter twist. From this book I learned that whether you're someone with the perfect life who can't help but feel smothered and empty, or someone with a crappy life who is too afraid to break free, all it takes is the courage to recognize your opportunity. The main characters are a classic Lady and the Tramp pair, except the genders are reversed.
Adorably unsure Daniel who has this whole wonderfully open future ahead of him, feels like something important is missing from his life. He feels as if there is a wild angry part of himself that is demanding to be set free.
And admirably strong Misty, the girl who has nothing behind her and nothing ahead of her, is happy to let herself fade away inside the wolf she has discovered. With no interest in college, authority, or her peers she is a dangerously loose cannon. Inside all she wants is to get away from her life; whether it takes the wolf or the boy; something has got to give for her.
This is personally my favorite book, and I don't say this lightly: RECOMMENDED! Try this book out, who knows, maybe it will unleash something new inside you.

Okay, immediate DNF! By page 26 I had 4 red flags (and could have had more). One for use of the r word in reference to a less than smart character. One for girl on girl hate and slut shaming: “remember how I complained about Genevieve being in my health class? Wondering why bother since she’s already got every Crotch critter in the textbook” WTF! Another for the phrase “dancing around like a short bus kid off his Ritalin” cause Gain WTF!? And yet another for continued girl hate and fat shaming “I wouldn’t have changed classes if I’d known I’d have to stare at her back fat all day.” Yeah, that was 26 pages too much, I’m out. TBR JAR YOU DID ME DIRTY.

Usually, I don’t rate books I read this little of but to hell with that, this is garbage. That language and attitude is not okay.

Ughhh. I did not like this book. I did not relate to any of the characters because I never got to know them. You know their situation but not there personality. The story was also a bit odd. They had to eat magic mushrooms and chant to become wolves and that was strange. The romance was weird. You do not see them get to know each other and slowly fall in love. It all just kind of happened. There was not really any character development. The main character did knid of change and grow but not any of the other characters. I really had to push myself to finish it. It was also very strange that when they are wolves they feel the desire to spray paint woloves all over town. It was just a very strange story.
