This book kept me on edge and i read it in just four days, staying up late so i could finish it. I liked how no character was portrayed as "pure evil", their emotions, feelings and reasons for what they did were explained well.

Tho Max can frick off, because what he did has no reason other than him having no regard for others.

Great I love that it didn't focus on the romance. I love that there are so many jokes like yall you self study you don't study with people keeps the door open. The Ending very climatic and I can believe this could have happened.
