Recommendation • I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. • Boring, and a slow-read • If I HAD to recommend this book, I would choose young adults • This book deals with teenage decisions, and the consequences you can encounter if you do what Sam and Alicia decide to do
Evaluation • I would give this book three out of five stars • Reasons: • I didn’t like how the book was written • It gave away the hype early in the book, so there was nothing to look forward to in the end • It was a boring read after the first few chapters
