  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

thoughts while reading

p187: oh i really hope
the almost kiss
isn’t why lewi ghosted al, cause he wasn’t even bothered and weren’t gonna say nothing
p225: i’m slightly starting to wonder whether
eli has a thing for lewi himself what with all the gay jokes to nathan. or whether he knows about the almost kiss,
or something. cause there certainly seems to be blackmail involved
p255: I’M SORRY did you just say you have a BE KIND policy??? what, does that only apply to physical violence or something??? cause that blatant disrespect of al seemed pretty UNKIND to me
p363: oh this is not going to end well…

‘I had to do something to shut you up. You’ve become dead gobby since you got knocked down.’

Like Al, you were born to live. You were born to shine. But, most of all, you were born to burn bright.
