100/5 all the stars I could give this book are given. I loved this book so so so so much. I felt so educated while reading it and I'll just list some of my favorite things 
 (there are mild spoilers, nothing is specifically stated, but you know, just fyi) 
 favorites: 
 -Max should be protected at all costs. Definition of precious cinnamon roll. Also the best big brother ever 
 -Daniel should also be protected at all times, and was so sweet and accepting of his brother and even though everyone underestimated him he's awesome too 
 -Sylvie and Max's relationship, while it at first seemed kind of insta-lovey to me and they didn't seem to have much in common, it really fleshed itself out and even though I wasn't a fan of the drama between them it was more realistic than the other drama that is usually in teen books 
 -I loved the doctor and thought that she was such a good character to include in the book 
 -While I know that Max was frustrated with his parents for most of the book (and tbh I was too) I also understood why they acted like that in that situation, and it's tough because I don't know how I would've reacted either 
 -Because Max is my age, and reminded me so much of my brother, and because Daniel reminded me so much of my sister, I really felt like I related to it and it made it really personal because I could never imagine myself or my siblings go through what Max had to and it just really opened up my eyes 
 -Set in England, and felt all the Harry Potter vibes so that was great 
 -Overall just felt super educated and I loved how this book was not only an entertaining story but it was also so informative and just 10/10 
 negatives: 
 -Hunter can go choke 
 -This is definitely something for me personally, but because Max exhibited mostly male characteristics it was sometimes difficult to think of him as just "Max" and not give him a box to put him in. I'm glad that I read the book though because, even though I'm still not 100% positive that I'll be great with pronouns/not putting people into boxes, this book has really opened me up to that and I can't thank it enough for that 
 -honestly I can't really think of anything negative because it was honestly perfect
