4.0

While the beginning leans heavily into a teenage angst I struggled to get behind, Henry grew on me and I found myself rooting for him not to make any particular choice but to find a good reason for what he chooses. Diego is also somewhat of a saving grace in the company of many characters I found difficult to redeem. I don't really think this book is the most profound story but it's still thought-provoking and engaging.
