i found this book at the open book shelf and, curious about the hype and looking for something unchallenging to contrast academic reading, i decided to pick it up.
well, the writing was worse than expected, the plot as predictable as i remembered the young adult fiction from my early teens. The worst part about this was that none of the characters seemed to have any personality or interests (besides an unspecific unbased interest in *art*), just hollow plot devices. The racy scenes were my only motivation to get through the endless inconsistencies and the ramblings of a painfully one dimensional and frankly frustratingly stupid narrator but even those scenes proved to be unrewarding lol.
