I loved this book so much

[Rebecca Fowell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the fact that the teenagers in this book have real life problems, it makes it much more relate-able than other young adult books. The book is mainly dialogue but it's witty and upbeat making the story flow with ease. My favourite thing about this book is that the main characters have catch phrases.

I didn't like the book that much, it was all about thinking and not enough action!
