Oh lord. The book put me in the biggest reading slump I've had in a while. 
I had to DNF. I don't like to rate the books I DNF because it seems unfair.
But I'll tell you what didn't work for me! 
I originally bought this book  for all the wrong reasons! it was 2$ and the cover is absolutely gorgeous!
To be fair, I enjoyed the author's previous book (Emergency Contact) but I would not have bought this book if it wasn't because it was so cheap and pretty :( 
Once I started reading, it seemed to me that the narrative was very disjointed, like the author didn't know where she was going with her own story. 
On top of that, the characters came through as very self aware and edgy (in a bad way). 
After the second conversation the MC had with his mom I stopped reading. 
Sadly, not for me :(
