I cannot, in good conscience, give this book a 5 star read because, like all of her books, it’s probably objectively not good. Does that stop me from going absolutely apeshit crazy over it? Absolutely not. I love this book. I love this dumb trilogy. Kevin Day is the light of my life and no I will not be taking questions at this time.

Just reread it and this book is honestly so great.
The story is exiting and the characters are just so damn lovable. But it also makes you think about your own life. Am I Running away from something? Do I let people in or do I close myself off? Do I ask for help when I need it? Am I okay? Can I change my future? Am I living my life?
It also shows how people react differently to trauma and how they deal with it. 
And just a little fyi Wymack is my absolute favourite character 
Best found family book

While the ending left a lot of loose ends, the book ended in a way where I didn't necessarily need to tie up all the different subplots. It leaves a lot to the imagination, not to mention Nora's extra content on Tumblr.
