I disliked the main character and didn't care for her until 75% the way through. Even then, I struggled to gain sympathy for her. It was frustrating to read and it felt like reading the self absorbed dusty of a 12 year old. I only felt pity and disdain for Queenie which sucked for me as a reader. In fact, I didn't like any of the characters... except maybe Kyazike.
