This was kind of stunning in a strange way. Thought provoking and sad. I think I need to sit with this one for a while.

I really enjoyed this book. It deals with a lot of heavy topics and it really makes you think. Neal Shusterman is a master of creating casts with characters that are all entirely relatable. I highly recommend for Shusterman fans and YA lovers.

All the characters in this book were precious, I loved them all! And I really loved the relationship between Brontë and Brewster. This was such a good read, I read the whole thing in a day.
