I received this book in exchange for a review. I was so excited about this book because from the description it sounded amazing. Once I started reading I found the book so hard to read. It was slow and I hated how it jumped from perspective to perspective without really giving too much detail about each individual character. I like getting to know a character as I read and this did not happen for me. I never really came to like Astrid or Max, the two "main" characters. They both kind of floated through the entire book with nothing substantial to grip me. This book is about teens in a residential home for behavioral and mental issues. The main characters, Astrid and Max, basically narrate the story with some chapters being from Eduardo, a Wakefield staff member. There was some mention of some odd "powers" and yet I was just not able to be drawn in.
