This book was so disappointing. For today's standards of young adult it falls far short. The characters are very black and white throughout the book, with a vain yet insecure main character whom no one understands. If the book was told from her perspective the lack of depth in everyone else would almost make sense. The ending is ridiculous and completely out of character for every person based on what we have seen. We are introduced to "important" best-friend-type people and then their story is just dropped with no one really seeming to care. Best thing about the book is that it's a super quick read.

Pass on this book and choose one of the myriad of other wonderful young adult books out there. I'll give you a recommendation if you need one!

First shifter book after reading Annette’s The Silver Kiss.
Such a wonder YA shifter story. It’s been so long since I read the book but I do occasionally think of it.

I found this book unbelievably boring. Nothing happened in this book. She’s a werewolf. Loves a boy. Endangers boy. Tries to kill herself. Almost dies at hands of boy she loves. Ends up falling in love with someone else. The end. Saved you a lot of boring pages!! Read something else.

This book has always been one of my favorites. It's sort of hard to put my finger on why. It's isn't necessarily a great story, but I think it speaks to how stupid we can be when we think we're in love, but are really just lost in obsession. It also talks a lot about how it can be hard to love ourselves when it shouldn't be. So please remember to love yourself. ♥

Not as good as I remembered in high school. And there was a little statutory rape implied that I'd totally forgotten about... So... Yeah.
