At first this book was hard to get through, I had to convince myself to keep reading it. The story is also pretty unrealistic. It got so insanely crazy though that I had to keep going. I have to say the author did a great job with the plot twists-it had a lot you wouldn’t expect. The characters weren’t lovable whatsoever but it made sense for the purpose of the story. Overall it was an okay book.
