2.0

The mystery of the book was okay, and I did find myself flipping the pages wanting to find out what occurred and how the different storylines connected. But, most of the characters were incredibly annoying to me, doing and thinking things that made no sense at all given what was happening in the story. Also, lots of the dialogue was so incredibly awkward/stilted, to the point of being cringeworthy at many points throughout the book, that I kept being taken out of the story by it.
