4.15 AVERAGE


The main character is extremely stubborn and strong-willed. I really like this in the main character of a book. I really like the plot of this book, and even though some elements were kind of familiar from other YA books. I think it was done in an interesting way and carried out really well by the Author.

I really like the friendship which developed between Jane and Kate. I felt the author focused more on this friendship than the ex-romance between two other characters. The story revolved around two female characters, they rescued themselves from the situation they had found themselves in and didn't need any of the male characters. I like this in a book as I don't personally feel like this is done often enough.

I liked Justina's writing style and I think this book tackles some very important issues that are still extremely relevant today.
