It was interesting. I liked the concept of the heroes of the story and then there being the average kids. But it moved really slowly especially at the end and I wasn’t a big fan of the ending.

i really loved this book. only thing is it deals with mental health very seriously so if you're not in a good place mentally you should not read it, it will not be good for you.

This book could be fun and frustrating at the same time. The characters are interesting but the book's refusal to even say the word "bisexual" is ridiculous as one character

debates whether they are straight or gay

. There are a few moments of blatant fatphobia despite one character

literally suffering from an eating disorder

. There was also a gross comment fetishizing mixed race babies from the only known poc character in the book which was uncomfortable. Additionally, there is a romantic relationship between a 19yr old and a 25-26yr old (aka a high schooler and a college graduate) which is super questionable. Otherwise the story is okay, nothing too remarkable. The characters often feel flat with only one or two big traits.
