First, thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Trigger Warnings: Graphic death, suicide, murder, drug use, destructive behavior, inappropriate age gap relationships, (unnecessary) animal abuse and death

A lot of people seemed to enjoy this book....I did not. The plot was entirely too chaotic for me and after awhile nothing was making any sense and honestly it felt like the goal wasn’t to tell a story, but to see what the author could write next to top himself. The premise was great and even the delivery was good for awhile. A boy on the run, framed for murder trying to figure out how the hell he got into this mess? Even the undertones of mental health, suicide, self destructive behavior gave the story an interesting take and some depth. I just think some of that depth ended up getting lost in the chaos, which is extremely disappointing. The shock and awe was not the way to go, in my opinion.
