I really enjoyed this book. The development between Leighton and Dylan was presented pretty realistically. Even though the ending was bittersweet, it fit perfectly into the story. The art style was also a nice component of the story.
Mostly, I liked Dylan and Leighton's friendship. Their friendship in the timeline before the camp was beautiful until it started to deteriorate. There were ups and downs in the timeline taking place in the camp which was interesting to read.
I really tried liking Leighton herself, particularly as the plot progressed past half of the story, but as her actions not only hurt her, but also Dylan, I wasn't very sympathetic towards her at the end. Although, I could understand Leighton's struggles with her parents' expectations which put pressure on her.
Dylan was a nice character who developed well throughout the story.
Overall, Dylan's and Leighton's story was intriguing and realistic.
