This was a fine YA thriller that teens may enjoy.
For me, I thought the premise was interesting and not something I’ve read a ton in for YA, but the execution was just meh. I also felt like the main romance felt really forced. It was kind of a bummer book for me, but, again, I think teens may still enjoy it.
