The only issue I have with this book is it should have been a series. I love love love stand-alones but this story would have worked much better had it been a series. I am not saying it is a bad book but if it had been a series there are many plot points that could have been explored more. And another thing this book needed more diversity, except for disability rep it had no other representation.
