This was kinda middle of the road for me unfortunately. There were definitely parts I enjoyed especially in the first half of the novel. I enjoyed seeing Dylan and Zoe’s friendship develop. But i feel like the book kinda lost the plot towards the second half. Too many random and unrelated (and surprisingly dark) storylines thrown in. Making the book far too long in my opinion. Zoe and Dylan were also very one dimensional. Zoe is shy and likes pizza and Dylan is sweet and likes football. That’s pretty much all we know or learn about them. The side characters were only there to serve their purpose for the plot and that’s it. Also the last two chapters had weirdly clunky and expository dialogue. Despite all this thought I did enjoy reading it for the most part so it kinda balanced itself out hence the 3 stars
