But then as the book goes on, you get to know Lexi. I loved her character development. To be able to read the change in her attitude and see the person behind the drugs was amazing. The way the novel is written shows how much the drugs affected Lexi’s personality, and the change was completely unexpected. To see a character who I thought was selfish and ignorant turn into a loving and caring friend in rehab was heartwarming as well as being extremely true.
In the beginning Lexi tricks the reader into believing all of her lies. I certainly didn’t realise that she was taking the reader for a ride and when I found out that she was lying about some things (not giving any spoilers here!) it truly shocked me. She’s manipulative – but in a way that you expect from an addict.
To reflect an addict’s behaviour as truly as Dawson has managed here is amazing. I never expected the novel to be so honest. I expected rehab to be romanticised and Lexi’s relationship with drugs brushed over, but it completely wasn’t.
This book is a masterpiece and honestly one of a kind. I’ve never discovered a book quite like this, and I don’t think I ever will.

The good in the book outshines all the bad. While it is a lengthy read there is a lot of side thoughts and discussions that most teens if not anyone would appreciate. The author tries to tackle so much that at points it gets a bit wordy.
Overall I really enjoyed the book, characters, and that ending was beyond perfect.
