This book isn’t a literary masterpiece or anything but it was a very fun and enjoyable read. The characters are pretty good and you can relate to really any of the main characters. This book definitely isn’t for all readers as it has alludes to suicide and depression. It’s main character, Tori, is a cool character who is shown in a very raw and realistic way. She is Flawed and so are the other characters in their own way. Nobody is perfect in this book. Plot wise, the story is okay. I wasn’t a huge fan of the plot as there were some things that weren’t done well. The mystery was done well but after a certain extent it started to get unrealistic. I mean, that’s the point of fiction right? Nothing has to be 100% realistic and that’s the fun part.
