I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. The cover art does not do the story justice. Bradley, Edelle, Jasper, and Keiko were all immediately loveable beans. ESPECIALLY Keiko. She is literally a quiet goth kid hatching outlandish revenge plots to make her friends feel better, and I can feel my inner teen SCREAMING to be just like her. Hunter was harder to love. I'm still not sure I sympathize with him at all. Yes, he's dealing with Alopecia. He's losing his hair. But the dude is a meat-headed prick for 95% of the story. Not a fan.
Overall, this was fantastic. I was all in for the entire ride from start to finish.
