This book was a lot better than I originally expected. I was surprised to find how well developed the story was and how much I found myself attaching to the characters.
I really have tried my best to like YA. But when they continually to be suppressed by twee clichés it hurts. The protagonist obviously needs an unusual name. The romantic interest obviously need stunning eyes and a mysterious air about him. The teenage characters obviously need to be unhinged and some kind of outcast. The writing doesn't need to be good. Just give it a pretty cover and they will but it. The day I find a good YA book will be a good day, indeed.
There were parts of this book that I enjoyed. I probably would finish the series if I found the rest of them. It is a modern book.
It kinda felt like I read this before, long time ago.
