Ok, this book was irritating. I found myself wanting to punch the majority of the characters. They're all selfish, self-sabotaging, whiny & liars. In the first book, I was a little annoyed with Lia's self-absorbed rich girl attitude, but thought maybe as the series went along her character would develop a little more maturely. And no, she's not obsessed with her social status or being the hottest girl anymore, but only because she has no social status as a mech & can't revel in her beauty because it's not her body. And there are moments when it looks like she'll actually do the right thing & then she won't. And the lies.. Even though it's obvious it's a better choice to tell the person involved something she doesn't. And half the time it's not something so majority huge that she keeps from them but by not telling them it blows up in her face. I think the main thing that bugs me about this series, especially in this book is there's no one to root for. Once you start thinking ok, I like this character they go & do something stupid & you want to kick them. I get that the story is supposed to be about miserable people who have died & are stuck in a downloaded version of themselves. But it's like for one reason or another each character is so absorbed in their pity parties that they're turning into just rotten people in general. I'm still reading the third book because the general storyline is interesting, but I hope the characters develop more.
