There was alot of issues that were in my book, but at the end they were all resolved. Dooley was clean of all that he was accused of. Winston Rhodes was the one who commited all the crimes and he tried to frame Dooley. I thought the end of the novel had a really good ending, it almost leaves you on a cliffhanger, but at the same time explains everything that had happened. I thought the ending was reasonable because it was believable, it felt like you could put yourself into the shoes of Dooley and nothing would change. The only part I didn't like about the ending was the final chapter when him and Beth are sitting in a coffee shop and he tells her everything that he is feeling towards her and it doesn't give you a response, it's like a page is missing or something.
I really enjoyed the book, I'm not someone who really likes to read but this book was really good, even though I couldn't relate to what Dooley was going through. It is relatable to teenagers lives because the book has plenty of different emotions that Dooley goes through, like everyone has experienced what Dooley does with Beth. Even though the book was really "extreme" at times it was still very good.
Think about the problems that occurred in your novel. Are all the issues and conflicts resolved by the end of the novel? Did you like how the novel ended or did you expect something different? Was the ending realistic and believable? Explain your answer.At the end of your post, write a few sentences about your own overall impression of the novel. Did you like the book? Why or why not? Was it relatable to teenagers' lives?

Dooley is faced with a problem pretty much right at the beginning of the novel when he is questioned for the murder of Mark Everley. Because of Dooley's past he was immidiatly a suspect of the death of Mark. Dooley solves the problem by proving the he was innocent.
Later on in the novel Dooley is put into another situation where he is invited to a party. Dooley has been clean of all alcohol and drugs ever since moving back in with his uncle. Dooley goes to this party because of girl and it turns out to be a bad decision because Dooley gets framed again for murder because Dooley got into a fight there with a boy named Edward Gillette and the next day he turned out dead. Dooley resolved the problem by investigation on his own terms and he later finds the person who really did it. The person who did it also pushed Mark off the bridge!
The person who did it appeared to be Dooley's friends. Do you think Dooley should rat him out or take the blame and be a good friend? What would you do in this scenario
