Overall, the book was pretty good. The plot was definitely the strongest part of it. Unfortunately, the rest could have used some polish.

The pacing was slow, and the characters seemed to be superficially fleshed out with very little emotion or depth. Honestly, I kept waiting for Cameron to display any emotion stronger than the stereotypical teenage apathy. The portrayal of the gay conversion camp was a little troubling too. Cameron seemed to make a lot of excuses for the camp leaders, rather than express frustration or anger over the emotional trauma being inflicted on the students. The book ended strong though, with a final scene that packed an emotional punch. I think that redeemed it a bit.
