Trigger warnings: Violence, bullying. 

I wasn't quite sure what to make of this book early on, but I'm really glad I stuck with it because it was a wild ride. I did find the ending to be a little bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the book, but I still had a great time getting there and I didn't see the twist coming. I also thought the four authors did a great job of giving the writing a seamless feel, and if I hadn't known it was written by more than one person I never would have had any reason to guess it. This was a really fun read and I'm glad I came across it.
