2.0

This book is poorly researched and full of cliches and stereotypes. I understand what the author is doing but this was not an enjoyable read. The writing is terrible and some of the characters got under my skin. They're so annoying! The novel does not do justice to the topic it is addressing. Everything is filtered through melodrama to evoke an emotional response in the reader, but sadly, it fails.
