I enjoyed the start and the end, but most of the book really dragged. I also didn't like or connect with any of the characters, unfortunately. Part of that is my fault, because I didn't realise this was YA and I don't like that genre much. Also didn't like how the one POC character in the book was so one dimensional and his code switching got played for laughs. Author also chose to censor certain curse words, but still use ableist slurs at various points throughout.
