This would've been four or five stars if I were younger, so definitely recommend this to teens. I've just grown out of YA entirely and that's not the fault of the book. This book is a lot more high octane than I expected which kept me hooked,. I love the amount of queer characters in this book. My main complaints are 1) it feels like a cw/freeform show 2) this book is almost entirely setting things up for the series. I don't think it stands well on its own and I won't be continuing on so...
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Hate crime, Blood, Grief, Car accident, and Death of parent
Minor: Homophobia and Toxic relationship
