I loved this one. The short chapters are refreshing and I found each character's storyline engaging. The sense of dread in Oscar's storyline is apparent throughout. I'd recommend it to 8th & up with a heads up about the amount of profanity used.

dnf @ page 96. can’t finish it after something said at the end of part 1. i got to when levi and ethan meet and said ‘i quit’. the chapters are super short and easy to read but i just can’t finish it because of the thing at the end of part 1, which is sad because i was enjoying it but no thanks
