The plot was fine and I quite liked it, but I hated how the characters were written. Well, mostly; I liked Brett, Juniper, and Gavin. However, I found Ruby to be a bit of a mary-sue and her character totally changed after we find out she’s planned this (although I did sorta prefer her after). Also, Shane was the weirdest manic pixie dream boy character, and the whole slow dancing w Ruby on first meeting was just odd. Parker was too one dimensional as a villain. That being said, I liked the narration from him. </spoilers>
Plot wise, it was fast paced, which is always appreciated and I found myself shocked with some of the reveals (mostly just that Juniper was sorta innocent)
Overall, a fun read but lacked well-written characters.
