Sometimes I like to start reading a book without even reading the back.. It can be so confusing and frustrating having no clue what's going on for about half the story but it's refreshing to know as much or even less than the main character. For me, it makes the book feel like much more of a surprise.
This book started out really well. This could be partially because I felt as confused as Alexis because I really didnt have a clue what the book was about. The idea behind the book is great. There are some minor annoyances I have here and there by the way things were implied into the book, but I feel like this is partially because it's the first book in the series.
I don't know how many books the SC has written but everytime I start a serie I feel like the writting isn't fully there yet. For me, this resolves throughout the series and I hope that it was the same case here. I remember reading Harry Potter when I was young and thinking the books got better and better every time around.
I would have like there to be a bit more depth to some of the characters. Emma, Amanda, Brooke, Cleff,... They are there but we don't really get to know them as much as I would like.
All in all I found this a good book. I didn't manage to put it down until I had finished it and I'm glad I managed to at a decent time, not having to pull an allnighter again because my imagination was running wild.
Besides the little 'faults' I found with the book I thought it was a lovely book and I would recomend it to more people. Mostly the younger crowd (16-21ish).. I think the love triangle is something more for that age as to where 'older' people might expect it to be more of a mature relationship.
I'm going to raid this book 4 stars. It's a good read and I think you'll enjoy it.
P.S. I can't decide who to ship! I feel like T. was there for here when she truly needed someone and C. can't just expect A. to be totally into him after not KNOWING him... And he missed out on some serious brownie points for not being there when she needed him.
P.P.S. I think this cover is awesome but I can't seem to find the link to the story..
