I think that Adam Wilde might be the most unlikeable character I've read in a very, very long while.

I did not read this book for his diatribey, paranoid, privileged, whiney, misogynistic male tears. I read this book for Mia. Unfortunately, Mia is only present in half of the book, and even for that half we have to slog through Adams bullshit hangups as narration about their past. I seriously hate Adam Wilde.

Although, I didn't hate the ending. It seemed right because it was a very young adult literature way to tie up the story. I would have, however, LOVED if the ending were different. I would have loved to see more of Mia's process and agency and seen her make a different decision and force Wahdum to deal with it. But it still gave me a warm feeling to see things tied up the way they did.
