This is my second time reading this book. During my first read through I believe I was in my late teens and I enjoyed the books dynamics and how the story was written. Now in my mid-twenties the book was extremely rushed and the characters, while enjoyable, seem very unrealistic and what has happened in the book is not quite as believable. I think it is a good YA book for teenagers, however as an adult has fallen flat.
