I'm interested in the plot and excited ton see where the series goes. I struggled with the writing that had a few too many pop culture references and teen speak. It's a modern YA book, so that isn't terrible but that sometimes has a way of pulling me out of the world. I really like Marie and I want to see more of her. There is a bit of a twist that I saw coming and has an element at the end that I always dislike in books.
