4.25/5 
 Always a fan of Ellen Hopkins. I love almost everything she writes and this falls into that category. I loved the characters in the book and the emotions. At times I was so frustrated and I wanted to slap quite a few characters! I was definitely sucked in and couldn't put the book down it's almost 3am but who needs sleep?. I wanted to devour this book and I did. 
 However, at times the book did drag. It could be around 70ish pages shorter and still hit the main point. I also wish some of the characters could have been in the spotlight. This is an author who knows how to do split POV books like secondhand nature and I live for reading the internal battles her characters have. Ariel was great, but seeing more than Ariel and the little bit of Maya would have taken the book to another level. 
 Despite mostly focusing on Ariel and the smaller drags the book was still really good. Ellen Hopkins knows how to write angst.
