2.0

I started this with my bookclub and quickly put it down.
By page 3 Kiara has so thoroughly sealed herself as a pick-me, and reiterated time and time again how she was "not like other girls".
The love was insta-love. The Ki's inner monolog felt unnatural and usually resulted in the author telling not showing.
I am giving this 2 stars because even though this feels akin to the hunger games, the plot could have been interesting had it been more thought out and better implemented.
