Summary:

I’m Riley Adams. Boring, unnoticed, socially troubled, one hundred percent male Riley Adams. When some people look at me, they say that I’ve been through it all. Psh. I wish. What I’ve been through doesn’t nearly add up to it all, for I know that my father’s death, my mother’s disappearance, my sister’s absence, and the disgusting pills that I take every morning do not count as “it all.” But one day, I hope that I do go through it all, whatever that may mean. And maybe with this new girl named Hailey, a non-serial killer apartment owner, a small supply closet, and a little bit of Survivor, I’ll be able to go through most of it all, and maybe even survive my senior year of high school.

I loved the fact that a female wrote in the perspective of a male character! Very unique among teenagers these days. Loved the story!

Wow! After reading this book, I could not believe that a teenager wrote it! It is very mature and creative, definitely one of my favorites on teenink. Keep writing and I hope to hear more work from you!

Nice work!!! This really depicts the lives of some people in the this world. Also, I can see some inspiration from John Green. Once again, keep up the work as its outstanding. Deserves 5/5 stars.
