This book was just okay for me. The beginning felt slow for me and I had a hard time getting into the story at first. I appreciated the message the story was telling, that you never truly know what someone is dealing with. Told from the POV of seven high school teenagers, most of who are outcasts, dealing with family life and other personal issues such as drugs, alcohol & sex. Some of the characters decisions infuriated me, especially Claire. She was my least favorite character by far.

I also loved Matt's story line, probably one of my favorites of the book. He finds a love for reading by trying to find something to help escape his parent's constant arguing.

Juniper's chapters were told in poem which really captured what she was going through.

Kat - my new favorite female protagonist, a gamer, anti-social, dealing with her mother up and leaving. Her character development was amazing. I was rooting for her all the way!

Also, I still can't figure out who is each Seven Deadly Sin!!

Overall, the book was mediocre, but I'd like to read more of Riley's other works.
