Absolutely adored this book. I could sympathise with all of the characters, even the more unlikeable ones, and it kept me hooked so strongly I had to finish it the same day I started it. And a twist at the end I was NOT expecting but LOVED. The writing style felt real and varied by narrator. The People of Platform 5 was also one of my fave books, so I can't wait to hear what Clare writes next.

(Edit after reading other reviews)
I agree with bookph1le's review of Monica and Hazard's convenient romance, and about Riley's treatment. For someone upset that his stereotype is that he is a happy-go-lucky person with no depth, he is given the least deep ending he couldn't have possibly been given.
