Funny, engaging, amazingly written. Honestly, reminded me why I love reading and that sometimes it is genuinely hard to make yourself stop reading. I am pushing the age though at which this is a fun adventure, I spend half of the book thinking how young these kids are and how much therapy they all need. Not saying this in a bad way, just putting it as a reminder to myself if I reread it, that this is something that changes your perspective. And just, it felt like all of these characters have some specific things added to them that are so special, and so real - problems/situations that exist - and it was not there just for the brownie points, they actually formed a coherent character and had an effect on the story. Though, to reiterate, every single one of the six has a diagnosable mental problem that they will need years of therapy and medicine to deal with.

My only problem is that ends in the middle of nowhere. I know people like to sell trilogies etc. but it literally was surprising when it ended because the kindle edition was not even done, maybe about 80%? It just feels like the first book should have ended 1 chapter earlier, and not in the middle of an action scene.

This book took a while to get me hooked, but once I was hooked, I WAS HOOKED. The characters make this book. It’s hard to pick a favorite character. I can’t wait to read the next one.
