180 Seconds by Jessica Park
4.0

Things I liked:
* the friendships, sibling relationships, and time with her adopted dad
* a character with anxiety issues making it as the "star" of her own story
* growth for both of the main characters
* the story-telling!

Things I didn't like:
* eh, the same old "boy fixes every issue" trope
* the "road trip" seemed a little over the top

Still, I've read a lot of duds this year, and I liked this one.
