Okay wow, first of all I had not expected to give this book such a high rating. I picked it up at a garage sale and thought I would give it a chance, obviously i had never heard about this book before. Starting off with the 4 main characters of the books, I began loving Cam and Sonia the second they met. I loved how they were described, they seemed so human in a way I could actually relate. Their dynamic and every little interaction they shared was simply great. I couldn’t help but also love Oliver, as much as I hate to admit, I was able to even find a reason to relate to Sonia’s mother as well. The plot had me feeling like this was in fact a mystery, the chase and all the points that eventually lead to the end. This could’ve been a 5 ⭐️ read except for the miscommunication, i just wasn’t sure that it was okay for cameron to run every chance she got, but i also didn’t hate it.. at first. It became clear with time that this girl just couldn’t face ANY of her problems, and so she ran. I also could have done well without the “plot twist” at the end, while it did bring the book together, with the amount of details I felt unsatisfied. I would definitely recommend this book though!
