Mixed feeling. The story drags towards the end. Love the hero, sympathetic to the heroine. However, they're wrong for each other. No, as a matter of fact she's wrong for him. But I'm not going to complain about that. Mismatch couples happen all the time, in books and real life.
Bad things happen to them. A lot. Sometimes over-the-top bad. Everything in this book is extreme, the personality of characters, the mood swings, the language. Not a single kid in the school (or in other schools for that matter) seems mentally stable. I mean..are we this bad in HS? I think not.
The only anchor that holds the story together is Sam, and I feel bad how he ends up. I can't help but think he's got a stinking end of the bargain.
Some might feel uplifting after finishing this book. I? Nothing but sad and a little depressed.
3.5/5
Read it for yourself.
