3.0

Not a bad book overall but nothing like excellingly revolutionary

I did really like the characters though which is important for me in a story to at least like ONE character and I probably loved them all

Even though he was an ass

I do wonder what happened with Johntae since he literally just ran off. Not important to the story of Tyler ofc but y'know I'm curious

The friendships in the story were also strong and the message is there

There's a few parts that had me going like ugh but nothing that makes the book like an awful awful book
