This book is SO bad, please don't read it. I think there's something wrong with me because I see everyone giving 5 stars but omg I dreaded this from chapter 1 onwards.
The writing style is that of a fanfiction, which makes the plot disjointed and the characters a mix of sitcom and private jokes. Elliot is a Mary Sue and the most annoying one at that, and the only likable character in the whole series is Luke, who we don't even get to know that well. Not to be mean, but if you're over teen ages and still relate to Elliot please rethink your life.
