- The slam poetry was confusing and cringeworthy.
- The narration was juvenile (even for YA) and long-winded at times (do we really need a play-by-play of Layken’s morning routine?).
- I didn’t enjoy how the only person of color’s storyline was
assaulting Layken, which in itself was just a plot device to get Will and Layken back together. - My jaw dropped when I read about the younger boys’ Halloween costumes.
Not to be uptight like that principal, but my mom had cancer twice and I was surprised at Julia’s reaction. What nine-year-old says they want to be their mother’s cancerous lung(s)? The whole thing was just very odd and inorganic to me. - I’ll give the book one thing: the note from
Layken’s now-deceased mom at the very end was nice.
