Personally, best RJ Kinner book yet!

This one is so stinking good!! I've read Kinner's other stuff and I really really like this one the best. I felt like the protagonist in this one was the most relatable and the story was NOT predictable. I really liked that. I hate when I see the ending coming from far off. Overall I'm super excited for the next one in this series! the only complaint I have is I wasn't a huge fan of the narrators "male" voice for the character Daniel. but really really loved the voice actor for Riley so basically awesome book, and good voice acting! hence the 5 stars
