Loved the concept, Hated the execution. Its listed as young adult but clearly is for a younger audience, Very immature and ableist writing. The author describes a messy city as being "built by an autistic child" and the main character intentionally tries to get his girlfriend pregnant. Also has an extremely cop out ending, Did not enjoy this one at all.
