Actual rating is around a 3, maybe 3.5 stars because it was okay, even if it wasn't the greatest. I doubt I'll ever forget it, but I probably won't be reading it again anytime soon.
This book was alright. A sort of typical teen-mystery thing with a "gay twist," if that's what you want to call it. I doubt I'd recommend it to anyone, unless they were really REALLY curious. The ridiculously slow parts in the middle and beginning as well as that abrupt ending didn't help it any, so I'm really not that impressed.
However, it wasn't a bad book. The writing was decent enough, and the story - though not particularly original - was interesting enough. I think I probably wanted more than just a teen melodrama, but as a YA book, I suppose it's to be expected. I was VERY happy with the ending though - even if it was abrupt. I sort of wished we had gotten the chance to see more of that instead of all the other seemingly pointless run-around.

"It's playing out like the teenage mystery drama it is. For a little bit I was feeling some "Being Human" vibes going on... but now I'm just not. It's getting a tad bit boring tbh... :/"
