god Red and Oliver were INSUFFERABLE. every time red opened her mouth, it was a pity party and she would just talk about how pathetic she is and how pathetic her life is. also, i will say i didnt see the twists coming, but that could be because i was starting to lose interest in the story, but i wanted more resolution from the story. i wanted to hear more from author and more from red. Also,
author just kills maddie's mom and no one cares??/
just a lot of this story seemed too far fetched to me for what it was.
