Personally, Davis' character resonated the most with me despite Aza's OCD and I thought that his character was written well. In general, I thought all characters were well thought out, especially for the majority of main characters being teenagers.
I liked the complexity of relationships between characters and especially seeing how this was expressed in regards to Aza's OCD.
Seriously, a great book that I literally ate in a few days, will definitely reread as is accurate representation and very interesting.

I do think it is advertised weirdly, though! This isn't centered around the "mystery" of the book- it is almost 100% centered around the main character, but not in a bad way, just in a mental health way.
I personally have OCD and anxiety, and this book is the best representation I have ever found. Aza's thought spirals and intrusive thoughts are presented so accurately. It's so easy to get stuck in your head with disorders like this- your doctors tell you it's just a thought and to "find the originator", but it's turtles all the way down. There is no originator with intrusive thoughts.
I will mention - and I did not have this warning my first read - if you have OCD or anxiety, this may be triggering. The entire book is Aza's perspective and we see her thoughts displayed in extreme detail. There are also multiple instances where she self harms
