My thoughts and opinion:
This is such an impressive book. I feel like I got to know Theo so well, I could feel is fears, his passion and live his life basically. At first I thought "oh another young boy, having the worst people to look up to and who will throw his life away". But Theo and his story is so much more. Deidre has her own story, her own battles to fight and struggles to overcome. Both of their lives and stories fit so good together.
It was a pleasure to read and can highly recommend it!
