This was a very confusing book. It went on and on and on but I never saw a point to it. Characters weren't believable, and because of writing I coudn't connect to their problems. The only emotion I felt is for the whole book I was incredibly sorry for Benny because his father sounded like not a very responsible man, and being in Annabelle's perspective made me mad at her - she was extremely unlikable and cringey.
