Overall, I enjoyed the book. There were bits and pieces that I didn't like, mainly the ending. It happened really fast and didn't fell like Hutchinson left the necessary time to resolve it.

Also I'm just pissed that it didn't say if the world ended. I know that wasn't the point of the book but I still want to know.

I really enjoyed this book. I knew I would because it’s one of Katie’s favorites and she’s been trying to get me to read it for years, but I guess that actually intimidated me a little bit. 

Overall, really fantastic read. My one critique, which is honestly a little nitpicky is that it harped on about Jesse just a little too much for me. I totally understand that it was written from the perspective of a grieving boy with depression, but I just started getting tired of it at some point.
