this book had a grasp on me that i couldn’t shake - it only took 2 days for me to finish it. 
from the first page, it had me hooked. the pacing was perfect, the characters felt real, and it was just a perfect book.
the only gripe i have is that
we found out what happened to shane through marisol; i would’ve much rather heard it from his or sam’s perspective — a chapter of hers would’ve been the cherry on top.

otherwise, i wholly love this book and recommend it highly.
