One of the BEST books I've read in a while. 
The characters are so loveable. 
A thrilling story with some very unexpected twists. 
And: short chapters!!

Oh my god. Wow. Wow wow wow! I regret not reading this book sooner. It is so. Stinking. Good. I like to think I’m pretty good at predicting endings, but this one through me for a loop! I had nooooo idea what was going to happen throughout the entire book. Twists, mysteries, and suspense kept  me turning up until literally the very last page. I’m obsessed. I’m starting book two immediately. Good bye, sleep!

This. This book is written amazingly. How the author could make a book’s plot so complex and puzzling, yet still be able to keep the reader’s interest, takes real skills.

I’m not a fan of love triangles, and that is the only thing that puts me off about the book. Other than that, It's absolutely worth the read.

This book is a great mystery book. While the characters all are very clearly morally grey in some scenarios, the relationships and interactions make it nearly impossible for you to not like the cast. Avery is facing a harsh new reality, and there are many people around her who help ease her into a new lifestyle.

I wasn't a fan of the characters. They were either incredibly annoying or snobby and pretentious. I never really connected with any of them. The protagonist was bland, and so was the unnecessary love triangle (which was weird because it pitted brothers against each other). Also

I really hated Emily. Not only was she homophobic but she was all around a horrible person

. The mystery was also lame. There weren't really any fun puzzles, and the reason for Avery's inheritance was really underwhelming and not worth the trouble of reading. The only interesting bit was the sequel hook, but I'm not sure if I want to read the sequel. I will say that the pacing of the book was fast enough to keep me engaged, but the payoff was not worth sitting through.
