Surprisingly dark and creepy for a YA novel.

The writing was decent, although the pace dragged a bit towards the middle. The characters weren't painfully immature like they sometimes are in YA fiction.

The ending was unexpected and I really appreciated that.

Even though the story ended on a sad note, I got a sense of closure and felt like healing for the characters would be possible with time.

Great, fast paced thriller. Had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put it down. Had me telling my friends to go and read it so I had someone to talk to about it.

Absolutely heartbreaking as well. Was crying for a long time towards the end as the twist caught me very off guard.

Drew was a great character. Reading about his emotional struggles while a town is turning on him and no one is listening was shattering. I just wanted to give him a big hug.

The boyfriend is one of the most annoying men ever. Even to the end, I had to skim the last couple pages because I was so annoyed by him. This book reads more like a YA thriller that's a bit surface. It's not terrible, but if you like more complex themes with character development (liked myself), this likely isn't the title for you.
