Unfortunately one can guess the ending quite quickly. Maybe you can't guess why exactly, but the overall how and motive is easy enough to guess. 20 pages in I knew where this was heading. For such an obvious main plotline I feel like the character's weren't fleshed out enough. In the end it all revolved around Ivy and Gunther, but we practically don't know shit about them. There was a brief air of mystery when I wasn't sure whether the author is going with the more than obvious choice and have the sleepwalker do everything. But that little mystery disappeared as quickly as it came.
The reactions were so overdramatic. Someone got paint all over them? Devastating! Someone got nearly killed in the elevator? Same reaction. Fucking hell get some perspective.
 
All in all a mediocre book, but a quick read and I can see this as a stage play at a highschool. So as a YA, probably cool. Maybe I'm just the wrong audience.
