I didn't really find any of the story lines or characters particularly loveable. Christopher's story line was the hardest for me to get into. Even at the end, I just kind of shrugged his plot line off. Mandy's was the other story line that made me uncomfy just with how self deprecating and gullible she is as a character. I don't know, I just didn't find any of the characters relatable.
I liked the ending though. Especially, the inference the readers have to make about what the ending truly was.
