The actual story was fine, a bit slow in some areas but it does get more active towards the end. It's an okay read and the characters/their back-stories and personalities are quite well written.
The only point off is honestly for the weird groomer relationship between W and J considering they are 25+ and 17 when they met. This alone wouldn't be enough to knock down the story as this is just fiction, but the fact that no one(the two main characters or their friends) ever brings up/questions their age gap, living/romantic(getting together the day he turns 18...) situation but act like this is perfectly fine; really rubs me the wrong way. Especially during the police questioning where they have J lie about his age to seem older. I just wish this was aknowlage in the story a bit more as J is 17 going on 18 and the topic didn't need to be ignored apart from 1 throw away line at the end thats never brought up again.
