I have putting book off cause I didn't want this to end. I really love these characters and will really miss them. I know there is a tie in book but dang it. These books constantly screw me up and make me cry in the best way. Recommend.

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.
