I was very into this because the story that unfolds and what these kids had to deal with is like Hunger Games-style gnarly.  I also thought the relaying of the events through the POVs of each of the characters was really interesting. I felt a really serious tension when everyone was in the beach house, and I felt like it kind of broke when people started leaving. I also, and maybe I wasn't listening closely enough, had a bit of a hard time keeping all of the characters straight, since there were so many.
