2.0

While I enjoyed some plot points and aspects of the characters, this book droned on for far too long. It could've been 200 pages shorter all by taking out a few of the WAY too many spicy scenes. The smut scenes were too long and so copious they lost their efficacy. Tem I found to be very annoying (her voice just turned into Veruca Salt for me). The last 100 pages were just torture to get through.  Leo is honestly the best part of this book.
