This book was ROUGH. I was really looking forward to this book because of its great ratings, & honestly the only reason I didn't DNF was because of the ratings being so good. This book had so many flaws, it was YA & while I usually don't mind that, it bothered me that so many people were in positions that seemed unrealistic for their ages & seemed even more unrealistic because of the way they communicated with each other. Very much screamed YA & not the good kind. The chapters were the worst though, 40 to 65 pages in a chapter was just too much for me. There were such better ways to break them down, which brings me to my next point. The povs were a little confusing & messy & I didn't care to read them all especially when they weren't main characters. & the abbreviations that weren't explained at all or were explained to late to be useful really iced the confusing cake for me. If you aren't a usually sci-fi reader, you probably will spend a lot of time confused, I know I did. That all being said, this book was also very very predictable but despite that, I was still invested. Just not sure if I was invested enough to read the next one.
Graphic: Abandonment, Murder, Blood, Death, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Suicide, Suicide attempt, and Suicidal thoughts
