I went into this book with such high hopes that I ended up forcing myself to finish it. The book started off pretty strong in that it read like a bad fanfiction, one that you know you shouldn't be too critical of, especially since you can't put it down and have to keep reading it, no matter how predictable it is. However, about halfway through, it all went downhill. I no longer had the feeling that I could read this book without thinking too critically, in fact, it ended up dragging so much that I had to take breaks when reading because I didn't care about what was happening with these characters, which is saying a lot considering the book takes place in just a few days. Overall, I thought this book was going to be a lot more than it was - which is my own fault. However, if you like good fanfiction give this one a try, I know I liked it at first. Also, yes, as low as my rating is, I will be finishing this series.
