3.0

It was a decent book. A lot of moving pieces and I didn't predict the end which was good. The writing style seemed to shift midway through with the authors choice in vocabulary and imagery which was strange. It didn't seem intentional to aid the story  It was also weird having the main chatacter, a 17 year old high school student romantically involved with a 20 year old man. The story could have done just as well with a simple friendship. That aspect weirded me out sporadically throughout the story.
