This is the first time I've seen someone else share my opinion on this book. After finishing it I read reviews and could hardly believe we read the same book. Would have been great as a YA novel, but fell flat big time for me.
There are dozens of us! I think the book is enjoyable if all you're expecting is a fun but shallow ride. If it's been hyped up, it's going to be disappointing. A lot of reviews treat it like the pinnacle of the genre, which is ridiculous.
