3.75

While I enjoyed this book and flew through it, I did find it to be more juvenile than I had anticipated. It had a very YA feel to it and was very cringy at some parts. The author’s style of writing is not my favorite but is very easy to read. There were parts that didn’t feel believable, like the author didn’t know what she was talking about, and with such heavy subject matter, you would expect a weightiness to the writing but it all felt very light, even the parts that discussed assault. Overall I’d give it 3.75 stars and I do plan to read the second book. It wasn’t what I expected it to be but still enjoyable. I will say that I don’t plan to read anything else by this author other than the sequel to this book.
