Contemporary young adult books are definitely not my favourite genre. They often come across as not well thought out, overly dramatic or whiny. The rare few that manage to overcome these tendencies are absolute gems. Such is the case here. The story is simple enough to begin with and then takes you on the wildest ride. The characters are likeable and relatable and you find yourself routing for them and worrying for them. This definitely is a page turned that frequent readers would be able to devour in one sitting. The story is one that stays with you and one you'll find yourself recommending to all the young adults, new adults and old adults in your life. Definitely give it a go if you're new to the genre and are looking to start off on the right foot.
