Honestly, not much happens until around 80% in, and when things finally do kick off, it all wraps up way too quickly and conveniently.

Do I think this book is good? Not really. Would I be lying if I said I didn’t get invested in these characters? Maybe a little.
This book is fine. It has some similarities to Looking For Alaska in both structure and also one major narrative moment, but lacks a lot of the charm.
The ending kind of crashes and burns, becoming pretty depressing just for the sake of being depressing. I get it’s maybe the realistic approach, but jeez. It sort of feels like a bunch of build-up just for the author to give the readers a big middle finger then be like “Okay, I’m done.” I’m not saying the moment at the end of this book shouldn’t have happened, but for it to happen then having the book end five pages later really sucks.
