the writing in this book was very fluid, and made for quite an enticing read. i liked how there was a lot of depth to sam’s character (although there are some things i really wasn’t a big fan of - the whole bullying plot line felt
unnecessary and made me feel extremely uncomfortable), however i think there could have been a bit more depth for some of the side characters, like aj. some of the plot points in the book also just felt a bit cliché (which is to be expected in a ya novel), but the plot twist completely took me by surprise in the book, and i thought that the subtle build up to it was quite clever.
