This book has such heavy topics for each character, I was super impressed with how they all flowed from each different personality but together.

Rob’s father is caught embezzling and decides to end his life. It catches his frontal lobe and throughout the story he and his mother take care of him  (very reluctantly). Meanwhile Megean  was caught cheating on the SATs last year and caused the whole class to retake it; and although she’s never made a mistake like this before, she’s labeled the cheater by the school population. 

This book was difficult to put down and the plot twists as you fall deeper. I found the end written almost too suddenly, but it makes sense so you can’t be too let down.
