This is one of the worst yet compelling books I have ever read. I enjoyed it but it was awful.

The main characters are ridiculous charicatures of people whilst the sci-fi elements feel like an alien was told to write science fiction. The worst part is the Stephanie Meyer brand of lolita that she slips into every book. WHY is the character at the end 17 but pretending to be 18 so that her new boyfriend doesn't feel weird.

The ending is literally the worst and I probably should have DNF'd this at page 80, I read 600 pages of almost no plot development or character development.
