this was an average reading experience. i didn't connect with the characters, and the only thing i was invested in was codi and ricky's friendship. it does have a hopeful, inspiring ending to it, but it just felt too happy-ever-after-esque. everything miraculously working out in the end didn't really make it realistic, in my opinion. the characters also felt two-dimensional including the main character, codi.
