I wouldn’t necessarily suggest this book to anyone, I wouldn’t read it again, but I didn’t totally hate it. The whole premise was so unrealistic, and I don’t know a single public high school in America that would have a capstone project to graduate. There were moments where I was like oooh ok I like where this is going but the author would wrap that storyline up in the next chapter and move on from it entirely. Just overall felt forced and unrealistic.
