This book was seriously disappointing. When I first started reading it I was thoroughly obsessed with it. The idea was awesome and the main characters made be obsessed at first and I literally couldn’t put the book down. Until the middle, at least. It started to seem as if the main character was only used to bounce back and forth between boys. I don’t know how to explain it but she starts off as what seems like a strong thought out character and then once you get to the middle she deteriorates. The choices she makes felt like the author had decided the plot line and forced the character into it instead of making the plot and character work together. Like at points where she almost dies but then makes excuses for the people that were going to let her die. It made very little sense to me. Additionally, and what probably annoyed me the most, is that there was quite a few spelling or grammar errors throughout the book. I usually don’t mind books with errors but a lot of them made it difficult to read. There was some that were just misspellings and then some where it was talking about a girl but it said he instead of she so I was confused and had to use context clues for who was being talked about. Other parts repeated words like the author had forgot she already typed them, for example “she had she had thought about it” that’s not what it was but I don’t want to open the book to go searching for it. Lastly, the ending sucked. Left it just with no ending pretty much and left a lot of unanswered questions. I’m sure there must be another book and it might have been left like that so I’ll want to read the other one but the way it was done makes me want to do the opposite.
