I did like the concept. However, the characters have 0 variety. Ruben and Zach were so painfully similar that I couldn’t differentiate between their POVs as I was reading. Also, the miscommunication between the boys was dragged on for too long. (The pair only started having proper discussions within the last two chapters.) So if miscommunication is a pet peeve of yours, I would stray away from this book without a second thought.
