To be honest, this book was disappointing. I expected so much going into this book such as an interesting backstory with funny, relatable characters and an adventure. However, this was not to be.
The beginning of the story is very slow with Annie remembering everyone in her life who had passed away. This part did not add any character depth or understanding. I wasn't quite sure why it was there.
I couldn't connect with the characters at all and as a result, there was no emotional impact at any part of the story. Not when Annie and Pete were remembering their childhood, not when Annie reminisces over her grandmother's death.
The one thing that I did like was that this story was just a story about best friends, not a romance, which YA already has an abundance of.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher. All thoughts are my own and a positive review was not required. ( )
