I might have lost brain cells from this, but it was entertaining. This was so dumb, even for YA standards. They're supposed to be seniors in HS, but they almost sounded like middle schoolers to me. It was also extremely predictable. I did like the non-linear timeline that kept the reader in the dark with intermittent flashbacks to "the accident" that gave more clarity as the story went on. 

Favorite dumb quote repeated throughout:
"Did he... did he think I was pretty?"
