I didn't hate this book, but it wasn't perfect the best either. I loved Lily and thought that she was hilarious, though I wish she didn't take until the like third to last chapter to fully except herself and tie up literally every other plot thread at the same time . Her use of... I want to call it internet speak, was also quite annoying, even though I enjoyed her sass. I have grievances about aspects of her personality, but that's what character development is for, and I liked the Lily at the end. I quite enjoyed Tristan as well, and wish the book had more of him, as I had some trouble believing that he and Lily had anything beyond physical and sexual attraction.
