This started out very interesting, but became increasingly repetitive and frustrating. The main character was confusing (she seemed to contradict herself regularly) and not likeable at all. The plot was also a bit unbelievable at times. I'm still glad I read it, because I learnt a lot, but I don't really like the book.
