brother's gone. So what's he got to lose? Everything as it turns
out. It's up to his girlfriend, Lizzie to show him.

I really enjoyed this for some reason. Not really a fan of the MCs and the ending was slightly weak, but idk I think I just really wanted to dig deeper into it. I feel like this book would be great for discussion and paper writing. I'm still mulling over the characters and their choices. But overall I really loved what the book explored, the writing style, the pacing and most of the characters. Definitely did enjoy this one and would recommend it for a read. Of course (as seen on GR) it's probably not going to be a book for everyone's tastes/enjoyment.

P.S. I'm definitely Lizzie's cousin Julie haha
