 4.25 stars- This book was very enjoyable and kept me guessing. I also liked that everyone even the "villains" was a full-fleshed-out character. The unexpected consequences of our actions were a great thing to highlight. The only characters I liked were Lucy, Lucy's mom, Sara, and Victor. But I think it was supposed to be that way.  I really liked the ending.  

I was glad Victor was the only one to survive the elevator
