Keep your friends far away and your enemies even further away or however the saying goes, in this complex multi-pov story of toxic friendships, overwhelming grief and abusive relationships.
This story has the unusual choice of showing the effects of drug induced sexual assault from the perspective of a teen boy. Jake Healey is such a complex, needy character and it was devastating to see him slowly come to terms with his assault, initially feeling that he had cheated on his girlfriend.
The story did fall of a bit at the end as it revealed the real culprit, becoming a bit more like the standard young adult crime novels. I still think it was a good reveal though, that a lot of readers wouldn’t have guessed and the story was wrapped up really well.
