I really, really hate giving books one star. I also have a rule in my head about not giving up on a book until page 100. With this one, i made it to 75 before i found my focus slipping too much to go on. I couldn't stand any of the main characters, for one thing. They drove me crazy. It was just...I don't know how to out it. Unappetizing? I don't know. I thought it had an interesting concept that could've been really cool, but I need to actually like the characters when I read about them - or at least like on of the main characters. Around page 40, I started to feel iffy about whether or not to continue. I was avoiding looking at other reviews so they wouldn't taint my ideas, but I needed to know whether I should go on or not. Maybe it would get better? A couple of the reviews had some promising parts to them, but most of them were saying what I was already thinking.

There really isn't much else to say besides that it wasn't the writing that was bad, which made me cringe that much more when I clicked on the one star. I just couldn't do it. Sorry.
