4.0

Honestly, the book is pretty generic YA, but the DRAMA of it all was exquisite. Every chapter I was waiting to see who would betray our protagonists next. I also really appreciated how well-conceived the romantic relationships were. Each one was treated with respect, but did not fall into the YA trap of Instant True Love That Lasts Forever. The relationships ebbed and flowed like real ones, especially ones between teenagers. I really liked this book a lot more than I expected to, and I am so ready for the sequel to come out so we can find out what happens after that bombshell of an ending.
