It feels like there is almost nothing going on in the story, but it was funny at times and some parts were cleverly worded.

I'm smelling a new favourite book. Yes. Yes, definitely. So frigging good, I can barely put it into words. Ava is such an iconic character. So witty and sarcastic and honestly kinda mean but in the sexiest way possible. 

This book is not going to be your cup of tea if you want action but if you like nice dialogues and iconic characters who are all totally flawed but also totally awesome, give it a try.
