There was a lot going on in this, and I wasn't very convinced by some of it. For the majority of the book, the only storyline that stuck in my brain was Adam's. Until the multiple storylines start to vaguely come together near the end, everything else felt so random and I couldn't keep track of who was who and what info was important. The two main storylines were so disconnected, and for the most part it felt like I was reading two books in one. 
 
I also didn't love that it vilified emos/goths and young adult safe spaces. In reality, the kids getting involved in this kind of thing would be the 'squeaky clean' jocks and cheerleaders, not the introverted alternative crowd.
 
Not a terrible book, but nothing much to write home about either.
