For the most part of the book, this would've been a 3 stars. It was absolute complete average, nothing that would stay with me for long. There was a big focus on Nic's relationship with Tyler that I could've done well without - I probably was supposed to care about it, but Tyler was such a boring and annoying character that I just didn't care. The unique way Miranda told the story - starting from Day 15 and going back to Day 1 - didn't really work for me. I kept forgetting what was going to happen in later days. 
But then the plot twist came in, and it honestly ruined the story for me, which was only exacerbated by the reverse storytelling. I don't mind unlikeable characters, but Nic's actions on Day 2 or 3 made her future ones just worse and more inexplicable.

This was good! The first 100 pages I was kind of bored and didn’t understand why it was told the way it was. As the story went on and it was unraveling I was invested and wanted to know what happened. I do have to say nothing was really shocking.

I was afraid at the beginning of this book that the whole story-out-of-order thing was going to be gimmicky, but I was totally hooked. The writing isn't overly flowery, but it absolutely kept me on my toes. The main character totally needs to get herself together, which felt really real and human. Would def read this one again because I imagine it's a different experience in book form. It would also be interesting to read it in the correct order.
