I have a strange, powerless feeling reading this book. It is very clear early on that Caden is descending into a pit of anxiety and, later, OCD type behaviour. But I can't see how the story is going to progress, I am just "watching" this happen, not particularly enjoying it and powerless to stop it. This, of course, may be quite intentional from Shusterman and mirror exactly what Caden's parents are feeling.
