1.0

I thought about not finishing this book, but I stuck with it and I will say the twists in the second half really surprised me. But this is not a book I would recommend. The characters are all very superficial, extremely obsessed with sex (and this is reflected in the repetitive writing style - so many descriptions of kissing and making out). The plot is also superficial and mostly relies on technology and social media to advance despite being about the supernatural. The main relationship is also not one I felt comfortable rooting for - the whole thing felt borderline abusive/obsessive. Not a fun read, overall.
