I wanted so badly to like this book and there were moments I genuinely liked, but I spent the majority of the book wanting to finish it, so if I rated it on a 5 star scale, it would sit at a 2.5

What I liked: I think there was a fair bit of intrigue, particularly having to do with the events of the prologue, the past with Dr. Tinley and the present-time situation with Matt/Archer. I think that Ro's relationship with Tyler was handled really well and realistically. I think that very Matt was a relatable character. Matt's learning disabilities were handled incredibly!!

However, this book felt unnecessarily long to me. It feels like SO MUCH was said but not as much happened. There were a lot of balls in the air and I felt that every single one of them could've been realistically caught sooner. I felt like I was TOLD more than SHOWN a lot of things (for example, Ro says several times that she's homesick, but maybe thinks about her parents three times before going to visit them. Sadie and Ro have this epic friendship, but I never see any proof of it.) While some things were tied up realistically (Archer/Matt, Tyler/Ro), others seemed to be left loose and unfinished (Tinley, Matt's dad).
