2.5

For the most part of the book, this would've been a 3 stars. It was absolute complete average, nothing that would stay with me for long. There was a big focus on Nic's relationship with Tyler that I could've done well without - I probably was supposed to care about it, but Tyler was such a boring and annoying character that I just didn't care. The unique way Miranda told the story - starting from Day 15 and going back to Day 1 - didn't really work for me. I kept forgetting what was going to happen in later days. 
But then the plot twist came in, and it honestly ruined the story for me, which was only exacerbated by the reverse storytelling. I don't mind unlikeable characters, but Nic's actions on Day 2 or 3 made her future ones just worse and more inexplicable.
