The Encounter by K.A. Applegate
4.0

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

This one explored some really dark and powerful themes tbh. Toby is grappling with an issue that's obviously never actually happened to anyone before, but it still feels real because of the way teenagers (and humans in general) struggle with their identities. This book definitely felt darker than the first two and also was bit more gorey
