 If I remind myself that it is a book and not real I am okay with everything for 4 whole seconds. This book was WOW but not always in a good way!! I wanted to love the characters but they all had MAJOR flaws, so I found myself not knowing who I was cheering for or what outcome I was hoping for. That being said the dram was so amazingly written that I read all 418 pages in one day; unwanting to put it down!! This book will be something I am torn over reading and a guilty pleasure all at the same time.
