I read this because I liked the show for the short time it was on but the book feels nothing like it.  This book fell flat and felt dragged out.  I don’t think I liked any of the characters all that much and all of the relationships got on my nerves.  But the mystery parts were good, a bit too YA for me though.

This was so fun! It kept me entertained and I wanted to know what happened(we don’t find out in this). I just found all the drama of the romantic relationships and everything so entertaining. Also I have a hunch about something so we shall see. This honestly isn’t that amazing, but it’s fun and entertaining and I ate it up.
