This is one of those books that had I'd have read when I was 12/13 I probably would've loved. I was a huge Kardashians/Jenner's fan from 2012 - 2015 and embarrassingly bought all their books, this being one of them. Anyway, I was decluttering and wanted to get rid of this but had never actually read it when it came out, so I wanted to give it a go before getting rid of it. I was already a bit put off that it was ghost written and the dystopian y/a genre is not really my thing anymore, being aged 22 when I read it. I found the book to be way too longer than it needed to be. It felt like a good concept but it just wasn't executed well, I think it could've made a decent short film, rather than a 350 page book (with a sequel book). The pacing wasn't amazing, the plot would be really interesting for one chapter than flip to the other sisters POV where the plot line was slow and boring. There was also a lot of plot holes in it and the characters were very "I'm not like other girls" which made them very annoying. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Hardback, owned.
