I read it for school. It wasn't bad, slow start, things picked up in the last third. The characters were complex and consistent. I care a lot about Jared, so I might continue the series for him. The writing was good, it is straightforward and funny. At the end it got confusing, sometimes I felt I missed chapters, even though I didn't. But overall, it's a solid read if you want a magical realism, especially if you want more realism than magical.
Graphic: Drug abuse, Self harm, and Alcohol
Moderate: Suicide attempt
