This book was a fast read for me. The writing style made it easy for me to fly through in my reading. I gave the book 3 stars because it wasn’t very exciting for me. There is a little action leading up to the “reveal” in the end, but not much in my opinion.  Nora seemed to be like your everyday teenager doing homework and having a high school “rival”, but she didn’t have much of a personality past that. You find she has trust issues and is a very studious teen, but as what really drives her or her having a great female main character moment, you don’t get it. Maybe she has one in the other books, but I’m not sure. As for Patch, our main male character, I wish we got more dark character from him. It is hinted several times that he isn’t the type you generally introduce your mom to, but when we get to meet him in the story each time he seems rather plain. It seems that it is just his appearance, the dark hair and dark clothes, that seems trouble and not him personally. Overall the read wasn’t bad, but I’m not sure I would pull it off the shelf to reread it.
