Where do I even start...
I really did not expect to feel the feelings I did for these characters. I'm amazed at how the author made me go from disliking Eleanor, to loving her in such a short amount of time. I also love (and hate, because the characters did NOT deserve that) the twists that occurred near the end of the novel. Additionally, the style of writing is similar to "The Sun Is Also a Star" by Nicola Yoon, which is a book that always hits a soft spot of mine. 
Once I started reading, I did not want to put it down. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a book that is engaging, and gives you mixed feelings!

fast-paced
I flew through this book. The storyline wasn't very complex, so it was really easy to get through. But...Rainbow...how can you just end like that?!? I need a sequel. I need more. I have so many questions and I need answers.
