If I'm being honest, I was expecting a lot more out of this. While I do think it was greatly written, it just felt really off. I didn't feel any emotional attachments to any of these characters (view spoiler)[ so when Matt, Thomas, and even Tyler died, I didn't really feel anything. I also didn't feel too much when Tyler shot his sister in the knee and ended her dancing career (hide spoiler)]. I still have a lot of questions about everything. There are certain relationships that I think could have been written a little deeper, and there were certain characters that I would have liked to see more of a focus on. This was definitely heartbreaking to read in the sense that this is an epidemic that is happening more often than not here in the US. But it wasn't written in the sense for me to be heartbroken for the characters going through this trauma, and that's why I have to rate this so much lower than any of the other books I've read with this sort of plot.
