I totally agree with this summary. I enjoyed all of the characters and the way they interacted and affected each other over 24 hours. If I had to pick a favourite it would be Avery. She is coping with adult concerns while still being a high school student. Her issues don't seem as huge as Celia or Addison but she handles everything thrown at her and still remains kind.Dana Youngblood wrote: ↑19 Jul 2023, 18:55 Do I have to pick just one? I actually really liked all of them. Even though it all happened in one day, I feel like they all grew and showed their strength!
Damion felt like he was the most changed, or maybe he just became more honest as the book went on. He started out acting like he just wanted fans to know he was a "good guy." In the end, I felt he really was a good guy, and the social media star was who he was pretending to be.
I liked Celia a lot. She seemed so innocent and still just wanted her mother's love. I think I felt the most for her.
Addison was almost like each person's guardian angel. She kept dropping little pieces of wisdom on each of the characters, and her strength was evident.
Avery was an interesting one. She wanted to be the tough girl, but she really was a soft, kind-hearted person.
Booker was just a sweet guy. He was dealing with so much and was still so good to the other characters. His relationship with Seb was great to see.

After reading this, I might want to change my vote to Booker. I forgot what a truly sweet guy he was. He is one of those guys in school who get overlooked because they don't stand out either in a good way or a bad way. He is just quietly amazing.Dana Youngblood wrote: ↑19 Jul 2023, 18:55 Do I have to pick just one? I actually really liked all of them.

I like how described Booker! He is quietly amazing! I think he would probably be overlooked by most- especially from someone Damion.Diana Lowery wrote: ↑22 Jul 2023, 08:13After reading this, I might want to change my vote to Booker.

I also have some love for Booker. He really was the least troubled of all of the characters but also the most steadfast in his loyalty to both Addison and Seb. I can see a case for all the characters...I thought Damion was really shallow at the beginning but by the end I could see another side of him.Dana Youngblood wrote: ↑22 Jul 2023, 10:49I like how described Booker!

While he was not my favorite character, Luis Serrano did provide clueless comic relief in his conversation with Addison when she was in a tense situation with Booker and Damion in the cafeteria.
