good

[Karyanne Torres · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would rate this book three stars. This book would be three stars because it is very interesting but not so detailed. What I mean by that is throughout the story it kept me on my toes but the events could've been more detailed.

This really is good book, but the only thing is that it need more detailing to it . Express the character problems more because they just tried to get in to the main point . so, still is a good book to read about teenagers problems.
