More Plot Driven Than Most Courtney Summers Books

4 stars

This was kind of a slow start and I didn't find the protagonist as instantly likeable/relatable as most Summers books, but I thought it had a stronger plot and the best developed romantic relationship that she's written.

A really strong theme that ran through the book is that abusers will use vulnerable people's dreams and aspirations to exploit them, which is a good message that needs to be said.

In a way the ending isn't a surprise, but you're more along for the ride of how Georgia figures things out and reacts to them. The antagonists are pretty hateable, and you'll spend a good amount of time internally yelling at Georgia not to trust them.

Stick with this on and it pays off.
