Really dragged on. Thought the story had so much potential when I read the plot but the actual book never lived up to what I expected. I did not think any of the characters were interesting, I did not care about their stories, I was mostly bored. I really did not like how the black kid was written either. It wasn't offensive just so random? Might read again as a second chance.

There wasn't a really compelling or convincing reason as to why any of the events were happening, and there wasn't enough character development to care.

There are very dark moments to this book unrelated to the thriller aspect, and initially I was wishing the plot moved faster. But in the last 200 pages the story picks up and I was surprised at how satisfying the end is (without being predicatable).
