Loved the concept but this book never got close to reaching its potential. Not enough time spent with the characters and most of the storylines to really be invested. I felt like most of the challenging topics weren't handled very well and many things were barely mentioned when they were supposed to have a significant impact on the characters and the reader. In general I just felt like this book wanted to be deep but really wasn't.
