"2.5 stars<br/><br/>I had a really hard time deciding if I liked this book. I think it was an easy read and the plot had potential however, I think there were multiple things brought up in this book that were made to seem important and then never brought up again and the main character was kind of an idot. I think sometimes books can to a disservice to teenagers and their ability to think for themselves. I’m the same age as these charactersand I found myself guessing the “plot twists” chapters ahead of the main character. The ending was a fun twist, but I guessed it before it was revealed."
