The ending was disappointing. The bulk of the book was great and exciting, but the ending did not live up to it.

It was a fun read and I enjoyed reading it, but I considered to not finish it. The plot offers little surprises

the main character is a closeted gay guy which is obvious early on in the book

this could be an interesting story, but the story is basically told a hundred times in different ways. The most interesting thing about the plot is actually that

Not much happens at the party. The car accident is really such a cliché!

The changes of perspective offer a welcome interesting element.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe as a guilty pleasure.
