Edit: I keep lowering my rating on here because the more I think about it, the more I dislike this book and all it stands for.
To be honest when I first read this I thought it wasn't too bad, you know? It was okay, enjoyable at times and I liked the ending - but that is never enough. This book was goddamn mess, and honestly it should have been way better than it was.
The characters in this book infuriated me and I only liked one of the perspectives, which is poor considering how many we're given, we're given way too many perspectives. Every other perspective we're given is either boring or just pretentious and full of strange descriptions and wording. None of these people but perhaps two of them captured my interest, the rest felt too whiny and bitchy for my liking.
The Romance in this book. Don't get me started. I don't even know what to say about the romance, it was just boring people pining after other boring people with one positive relationship that shined through. Also, it felt that at times some relationships were just thrown into here for the drama, and there were so underdeveloped when they could have been great.
The drama in this book also doesn't live up to any of my expectations. It felt like I was reading what a thirteen year old thinks being eighteen is like, do you know what I mean? Also, a lot of the drama in this revolved one boring guy who made me want to scream - he was the type of character you would like if you love Edward from Twilight, if you don't you're going to want to punch him. You know what's awful as well? The only drama you're interested in is what happens in a flashforward in the prologue which literally does not happen until the end of the book and that's it, that's the only interesting thing to happen.
Honestly, what I'm trying to say is this book has so much potential, but it just fell flat on every level. If you want to know what happens in this book don't bother buying it, just read a spoiler filled review as I will be doing for the sequels to this.
