Too many terrible things in this book for me to like it.
Jem is forced to confront some shitty things that happened to him in juvie…and when I say forced, I mean that someone blackmails him into dealing with his rapists. Remember the non-gratuitous content-warning stuff in books one and two? Well, we get into it significantly more here, including Jem telling Tean what happened.

I’m glad Jem told Tean. And I would be honored to listen to painful experiences my friends choose to share. But when the author has a choice of what to include? I just don’t want to read the details of repeated rape of a minor.

The setup of the suspense part was also weaker, IMO, with some leaps I didn’t follow.
