At first, I was very uncertain this book would pick up any. It felt slow first a thriller and very juvenile even for a Young Adult novel. It picks up! It covers SO MANY heavy topics that need to be talked about more today! And understanding why it was written and the choice for certain aspects after reading the Author's Note made so much more sense, and I liked that choice to make it more personal to her after that.
