" Some of the conversations between the main character, Rachel, and her friend, Tyler, are painful. The scenes where the two try to connect over deeper issues feel contrived and don't flow naturally. However, I liked the premise and there were scenes between Rachel and her brother, Micah, that were touching. It wasn't as good as I would expect from a National Book Award nominee, but it wasn't a run of the mill YA novel either. "
