I don't know how to communicate to you how painful it was for me to get through this book. 

I think if it hadn't been the first book i read in my highschool book club, and if i'd done a bit of research about the book beforehand, i would have known how to enjoy it. 

This is a hate read. Yes, the characters are lovable because I'm a sucker for the sunshine character trope

, but it's such a shame we have to read it from the most poorly written main character, ever. Ouu she plays chess and could find a key super fast :0 s shes a genius!! and shes sassy. haven't read this 50 times over and over again on wattpad. 

No hate to wattpad, it's free stories. I had a good time reading there when i was younger! But tell me how this ended up being one of the 'Best Fiction for Young Adults' ???
