This is Sage C. Holloway's first novel and it's nothing short of spectacular! It was very much like the kids from "The Breakfast Club" were transported into a retreat facility and with some twist and turn with the characterization; you've got yourself this wonderful novel! 
 I absolutely adore Cai and Lys here because they really do complement each other. I also loved the dynamics of their group as they became closer and started to bond and eventually became friends. I loved that you can easily picture each character and really root for them. Aside from the main couple, I find Nicky especially adorable. 
 Their issues are the typical troubled young adult issues - angst and all so that is nothing new in the story. The main pull of the novel though is the likeability of each character. Despite their rather troubling situation, the author makes it possible for readers to easily love them. 
 As typical as the story goes, I still end up loving every minute reading it. I would really like a follow-up from this spectacular debut! Congratulations Miss Holloway!!!
