A super fast paced story, read in it's entirety in about 3 hours. So fast paced that huge gaps are missing and there is not real exploration of emotion and minimal character development. While I imagine the story is meant to serve as a bit of a cautionary tale for teens, the clean resolution and happily ever after ending take away from that. A good story, that had potential for being a good book.
