I enjoy a book that sends a good message, don't get me wrong, but when an author pushes character development and plot aside to send a message, it ruins the book. This is essentially what happened with this novel. 85% of the novel revolves around a group of teenagers (one being a changeling/faerie) who are fighting for the rights of same-sex couples to go to prom and of course not be bullied. 
 There were lengthy powerful speeches, a bunch of 'lets rise up against the bullies and administration', and other scenes. It is a good message, but it was literally pounded into the reader to the point it was overkill. 
 While there was a good message, I felt the way the whole same-sex couple problem was resolved (can't say it or it will be spoiled) was a bit disappointing. 
 Now onto the fantasy/faerie element. Due to the fact that so much revolves around the same-sex couple ban at prom, there is very little in the way of fantasy. Most of what readers learn about the fantasy world or even the conflict there is told as a bedtime story to the teenage boy (our second main character). 
 Other issues I had with the book - 
 The characters were a bit flat. There wasn't much emphasis on making readers like or relate to any of them. 
 There is a character in the book who is in a wheelchair, but there were multiple scenes where they were doing stuff that seemed difficult/impossible with a wheelchair. Plus the wheelchair would magically appear when stuff happened sort of as a way to remind you there was a disabled character. 
 Lots of emphasis on identity, sexuality, and equal rights. LOTS. To the point it overshadowed the plot. This wouldn't have been bad, but the book talked about a faerie war and readers got like 3% of that. 
 Taylor (main male character) was a bit inconsistent. He claimed he had difficulty hugging and touching people, but was all over Lora (main female character) trying to get into her pants. Then when she wouldn't sleep with him or make out, he got 'red flag' jealous and upset. 
 Insta-friendships. I can't stand when people were ignored and then they become insta-friends to the point they are like 'I love you.... '. Not relationships. Friendships. 
 The ending with two naked bodies just seemed out of place and a bit out there.
