By 25 pages in, I was emotionally invested in the story and in Jaime's character.

I enjoyed the way the plot played out - even the last little sucker punch at the very end. Also - I loved the character of LaVon and how he became important to Jaime's life.

As with LaVon, the novel’s main weakness is when it tips towards what we would like to happen in this situation, rather than portraying what is real, particularly in the final act, where a fun but over-the-top caper dominates the action.

In the end, loose ends are tied up a little too nicely but they only open doors to other loose ends, and that was the only thing that I didn’t like about this book.

It's really one of the greatest contemporary YA novels I've read this year, right up there with Paper Towns, and Mare's War.
