I really loved the concept behind this book, but really felt like it didn't deliver much. The high school setting was almost cartoonish, the beginning half was such a slog, and I felt like the ending of the book was really rushed, especially with the plot with HyrdoPro and that whole situation.
This definitely reads more younger, and I think I was expecting it to be more sophisticated than it actually was, which is partly my fault so that's fair. I would've lost my mind over this book if I was in middle school, but right now it isn't my cup of tea.
But, I do think that this really does have potential to be a really fire (pun intended) tv show so I'm gonna keep an eye out for that.
