I Should of left this book in 2014 where it belongs. I read this book when it came out when I was 14, and I wanted to re-read it now at nearly 23  before the prequel comes out this year. When I read it when I was younger I really enjoyed this, and the big plot twist had me in shock. Now it doesn't, I thought the characters were annoyingly pretentious and out of touch, and Candice is just plain stupid. There is also very little plot, and when there is plot it is everywhere. I think there are far better YA thriller/mysteries out there.
