I liked the beginning and the last 1/3. I found the rest to be increasingly frustrating for me as a reader, but I think some of that is just that I, an adult reader, am not the target audience for this book. My tolerance for a young main character trying to resolve a terrible problem solo and refusing to tell anyone or ask for help only goes so far. 😂 Once that was out of the way, the rest of the book was enjoyable.
