review 1: This is so sad. So, so sad because I really wanted to give this book a higher rating. It was dripping with potential but ended up flopping so badly that I can't bring myself to rate it any higher.The issues? Well let us begin with the fact that the author seemed to try and cram about 70 SIGNIFICANT plot points into one book. Two or three would have been believable but literally every chapter something irreversibly lifechanging happened and by the end I was sitting there, scowling, thinking "girl...what?" And to have us believe that this number of wholly traumatic events can happen to one damaged 17 year-old and ALL WILL RESOLVE ITSELF IN A MATTER OF PAGES was just laughable. This combined with the tens of grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and general typos and the auth... moreor's insistence on writing the word "thru" instead of "through" for no discernible reason was enough to ruin what could have been a really well-written YA book for me. I hate this. I hate it when I am moved to dislike a book that had the potential to be brilliant.OH well.
review 2: I loved the story being told from the male POV and it was an interesting story. The reason I give this book only 2 very strong stars is for potential and lack of delivery. It is probably me and my taste, but the conflicts were felt and dealt with in a superficial manner and I would have preferred more grit and rawness instead of this superhuman 17yo who seems to rise above it all. I also wanted an alternate "happier " ending for David. less
