Ugh, I thought this was awful.
The story didn't seem to hold any fresh new ideas. It had the same old tired cardboard cut out of kids. They were perfectly polite to their parents, never had a bad thought in their head. They blushed and grinned and...just the usual stuff. There wasn't anything new here. I think most frustrating was that the kids didn't act like kids. They were either extremely immature or made these grown up mature decisions. There was no middle ground.
And the villain saying that Amelia was "special" and he wanted her. It was so comical I could almost see him twirling his mustache and laughing manically.
I think teenagers can read more mature and complex characters than this. And I think there should be a huge plot twist that makes sense. This one was such a nonsensical let down that I actually re-read the whole section, thinking I'd misread it the first time.
I had hoped for so much more.
