This was just mediocre. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. The bad guy and his reasonings were such a cliche. However, it's a cliche for a reason. I just wish that Preston had done something different or more original.
I didn't really like the FMC Summer. She was really judgmental about other girls and how they chose to deal with this situation. She was pretty useless, either crying or thinking about Lewis.
I liked that we got Clover's POV, but it would have been better if we got more of him with his mother and what caused him to do this. It was explained, but I would have liked to see more flashback moments.
The ending was pretty bland. This would have been a perfect opportunity to end on Clover's POV about trying to escape. Or a flash future moment where Summer reads a newspaper article where he does escape. Just something more thrilling instead of boring.

Hm. Felt like a young adult book with a very, very, un-young adult content.
