Oh. My. Gosh. This earned its spot on my All Time Faves shelf, for sure!
An absolute rollercoaster ride of emotions and pain. The plot is so tumultuous it's cleverly reflective of a teenager's jumbled mess of thoughts. The characters and the character development were genuine and astounding.

The descent into madness reminded me of [b:The Vision, Volume 2: Little Better than a Beast|29507117|The Vision, Volume 2 Little Better than a Beast|Tom King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1480727492l/29507117._SY75_.jpg|49796441] but actually even better and more hard-hitting because these teens I could understand better and relate to more than the robot Visions.

The ending was bittersweet considering the way everything went so very very wrong. I would've liked to know what actually happened to

Samuel. Did he recover? Did he live through that fantasy loop in his mind forever?

And as for

Chip. Where did he go to? And once he went, could he come back? The ice cream in Samantha's locker seemed to suggest so. And are there more like him out there? I'd love to hear their stories next.

Also what happened to the

gun-toting kid? Did he never come back? Where did he go? Did he just cease to exist? But holier-than-thou self-righteous girl woke up from her coma, so surely he came back too, right?

All these questions I have just goes to show that the epilogue wasn't enough and I would love more issues of this! I think the story here isn't over and there's so much more that can be done with it!
