Okay, there was insta love. A bad case of telling and not showing (which I actually kind of like in books, but that's a conversation for another day). An unsatisfying ending. Everything wrapped up a little too neatly. One-dimensional characters except for the two protagonists (whatever happened to Imogen, huh?) And the occasional typo. BUT this was such a guilty pleasure read! Kept me entertained the entire time, especially when it started picking up the pace around page 100. I couldn't help comparing it to the Wattpad books I used to read since Natasha Preston started out there, and it felt a little nostalgic.
