I wish we had gotten a little bit more about Michael's life outside of school and skating--what things were like at home and what other things he enjoyed outside of reading. 

I was also a bit thrown off by the ending, specifically the last few chapters.

But I really enjoyed the first half, and I thought Oseman did a great job of writing from the perspective of a teenager who was suffering mentally in silence.
