Just in Case by Meg Rosoff

1.0

---

I'm not sure what to make of this book. It was compelling enough to make me keep reading but the characters didn't develop, David/Justin's relationship with his parents was odd and unrealistic - what parent lets their kid drop out of school and live with a stranger? Charlie's 'speech' and behavior was odd and under-developed and under-used and the whole thing as a criticism on mental health was just poor.
