4.5

It was fast paced, emotional, shocking at moments. 
I had no idea the book was going to take such a sharp turn with the grandmother dying and the mother falling in a coma. (The foreshadowing was there but the violence involved in all of it was shocking.

Loved the ending-- it was maybe too perfect but it is a YA book.  The friendship between the two main characters was fun to read about.
