"The indie kids, huh? You've got tem at your school, too. That group with the cool-geek haircuts and the thrift shop clotes and names from the fifties. Nice enough, never mean, but always the ones who end up being the Chosen One when the vampires come calling or when the alien queen needs the Source of All Light or something. They're too cool to ever, ever do anything like go to prom or listen to music other than jazz while reading poetry. They've always got some story going on that they're heroes of. The rest of us just have to live here, hovering around the edges, left out of it all, for the most part. Having said that, the indie kids do die a lot. Which must suck." 
 This book was absolutely phenomenal. I found myself enthralled in it from start to finish. It was a breath of fresh air to get a new perspective and a new take on the all-too familiar "chosen one" trope that is seen in young adult. A diverse and flawed cast of characters that all work with one another and have authentic interactions and chemistry makes this story much more lovable. The representation of mental illness in this book is outstanding,and heartbreakingly honest at some points throughout the book. I found myself cracking up laughing on one page, then immediately sobbing a few moments later. This book threw me through an emotional loop and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
