I am so torn on this book! On one hand, I couldn't out it down! Once I got started with it, I had to know what was going to happen next. But, the format took a little getting used to. You eventually find out why it is written like this, but it still was challenging to get into a flow. Even though the story was great,

I felt weird being invested in a person (and author) who seems to really dislike people who are homeless, on drugs, Canadian, teens, emo teens, or anyone not exactly like herself.

I think I would have rated it higher if it weren't for what I interpreted as the author's opinions.
