J.L. Merrow's stories are hits and misses for me. Some I truly like, some I don't. Unfortunately, this falls in the latter category. My biggest issue with this one is how the two main characters, that are supposed to be "the couple", don't really have that many scenes together. Most of the story, Will spends his time with his friend, Baz. While Marcus is in his reclusive state, or in later scenes, with his guardian. So I don't really get the romance. Is it really there?!? How?!?
Also, it'll be nice if I like Baz when he's with Will, alas, I think Baz is a prick who uses Will for his own liking, even if he is Will's best friend (case in point when Will says that (view spoiler))... and I just dislike any scenes with him, which sadly is A LOT.
The the whole "mystery" with Marcus's past -- it is so clear for readers, who is behind the murder/suicide of his parents, once that murderer comes into the scene. The whole mystery becomes no mystery, and it feels like the plot is dragging on for the almost half of the book, in attempt, again, to keep our main couple apart.
On top of that, this is MY personal issue, I have a bit problem with the British English writing as well. I'm more familiar with American English. Again, this is my own fault rather than my opinion of the story, but it does reduce my comfort in reading.

I went from thinking he's a good friend when he chased of that girl, to thinking he's an arse after the tent scene.
