I thought the first half of this book was inappropriate for my son and the second half was REALLY good. Sigh. I'm sure he has read worse, though. Or at least been exposed to it... ...more

2.5 stars. I wanted to like this more than I did, especially after recently reading and loving The Fault in Our Stars. Granted, it was thoughtfully written as the other was, but I just had a really hard time connecting with the characters.

Great book at one tragic point in the story I almost quit reading but I continued and finished it.
