2.0

Story of a girl, who with a group of friends, skips school to go on a camping trip and ends up unconscious. There is a lot of subplots within, such as Indigenous folklore, visions, an estranged mother-daughter relationship.
There was actually too much going on in this tale and many times I was confused as to what the real story was. I also read a pre-released electronic copy of the book, thanks to the publisher, the author and Edelweiss, and many pages were disjointed with drawings and sometimes one or two bold lettering, different font size words, which was very distracting.

This may have been good if it had tried to tell one story line. I found it hard to get into and even harder to stay involved with it.
