I absolutely loved this novel. So much so, I read in a single day AND posted about it on Instagram. This seems to be a very realistic portrayal of a tragic event with permanent consequences, and how the people affected by such an event would react.
Maggie is such a great protagonist, who is very easy to relate to. A lot of her feelings about her situation were similar to mine when I was an a similar, but significantly less serious, situation. I also really liked Ian, both when he and Maggie first meet (when he's a grumpasaurus) and as their friendship progresses. There are other secondary characters who can be both awesome and horrible, another realistic portrayal of those people who we choose to surround ourselves with.
