I went into this book not knowing what to expect due to all of the polarizing reviews. But I ended up enjoying it for the most part. I want to say that the twist is the part that probably made it better for me. If it wasn't for that I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much. It was hard to sympathize at all with a lot of the characters as well. (White superiority, racism, petty rich people problems) to give you an idea.
I just wish there was more development in all aspects but it still had me quite intrigued. I hope the prequel gives me more insight into why the bulk of characters acted the way they did.
