**Spoilers**
Most of the book was just okay. It was really just a guy talking about a girl weirdly the entire time. Like yeah we get it, this was a teen boy but it was just pretty annoying for the most part how he talked about this girl. Later on in the book it did become more about the bad things the kid had done and the ways he wanted to fix it. The first half of the book I thought was just okay, but the second half was actually good. I enjoyed reading the second part and had a bit of a "what's going to happen, will he be arrested or is he not" kind of moment. We knew he definitely didn't do what they said he did to the girl Bethany, but the police didn't know that and there was no evidence that proved he didn't at first. One thing I didn't like was that there was no actual telling of who had done it. Was it just some random person that knew them or was it some random person that was at the party too? Who actually did it? We know that the dad was pretty abusive verbally for the most of it, so why did he suddenly change last minute. Usually people don't just change unless there's an actual reason. And even if they do change, they wouldn't be that big of a difference overnight. They'd apologize maybe, but that was a lot for it to have been in one night.
