3.0

This book is supposed to be a modern-day 'And Then There Were None' and it is. This was a fairly straight-forward read, in that the story carried along steadily. I didn't find any of it too shocking, though I found (especially our protagonists) reactions a little over-the-top. What I didn't care for was how 'dumb' all these girls were, and how the main message I was left with was: girls are unmotivated to stand on their own feet so they cling to men.
