Quinn was not at all beating the oreo allegations until about midway into the book, and I had to fight the urge to DNF. But as her new connections with the side characters (Carter, Auden, Olivia ‘Livvy’) developed and her links with her old circle (Matt, Destany, Gia) unraveled, she became a much more enjoyable character. Her inner thoughts in every chapter were arranged into mental lists that almost sounded like poetry, and Carter’s notes at the end were a nice touch.
