This book was incredibly predictable and I had it all figured out almost immediately...and got pretty bored with this one partway through. The writing didn't draw me into the story and I really could care less about Elizabeth or Penelope, though Diana was kind of interesting and the closest thing to a real person I saw in the characters, even though she did seem a caricature quite a bit of the time. I really wish that the characters had more depth to them, more nuance. As it was, each person fit neatly into a little sterotyped box and, like stories like this go, their venturing out of their stereotypes (in a stereotypical way for stories like this, I may add) drove the plot. I like the easy read as much as the next person, but I barely finished this book and will not be getting any more of the series. I prefer and recommend the Gemma Doyle trilogy over this series.
