Not that great

I am not the target audience, being an adult in my 40s, but this book was just not very good. Esme has to be one of the most annoying characters I’ve run across. She makes really stupid choices, and sticks with them, even when she knows they’re stupid. Ollie was the only character that I actually liked, and Esme was constantly treating him like crap and running him off. There was nothing satisfying about this book; the beginning was boring, the middle was too long, and the ending sucked.
