Well... this was definitely a YA book. The plot itself was ok although wildly over the top and at times hard to read because of how cruel the characters were. It was hovering around 2-3* until I got to the end which was so silly and over the top that I couldn't believe what I was reading. With YA books I'm always willing to suspend my disbelief a bit more than with adult books but this was just ridiculous. The ending made no sense and felt like it was just thrown together at the last minute.

He’s debut is everything you could dream; shocking, thrilling, and at times downright stomach-churning. This novel puts the importance of “anti-bullying” initiatives into an extreme but very emotionally real context. Can’t wait to see what He cooks up next.
