A review by lycheecha
The Answer by K.A. Applegate

Oh my god. This was dark. And brutal. Jake just keeps going and going; he's gone past the point of no return. Cassie tries to bring this up to him, possibly a last ditch effort to steer him back at least a little bit, so he doesn't end up hating his own existence after all this, but to no avail. It was interesting to see just how much he relied on her to be his moral compass; with her quietly devastated and essentially given up, he too completely lets go. Anything to win. There's only one book left after this, and it's undoubtedly going to be just as devastating.
