This was cute, and I love talking it up to my reluctant readers. But, to me it lacks in a few areas. I was stymied by his parents' relationship and felt like I wanted to see Nick express more shock and confusion over the plot twist there. I also didn't like the last page (not spoiling it). I understand why the author chose to end the book that way, but that's why I'm leaving a 4 star rating instead of 5.
