I have mixed feelings about this book. I felt that the way it started didn't give me enough about Greer to care about her. The pacing felt strange and it was very "telly" rather than "showy." Then, by the time I started to care about Greer halfway through the book, the perspective switched to Cory, Zee, and Faith it was very jarring. At first, I didn't want to read their perspectives. As I kept reading, I got into it. But it felt like separate stories as opposed to one. Overall, I'm glad I finished it.
