2.0

This book was so cringy, I skimmed the last third of it, but it reminded me why I don't really read a lot of young adult books.

I imagine if I was new to the genre this would have been a cute fun book to read with a bit of a mystery mixed in, but it was predictable and the foreshadowing was like a brick to the face. 

I found the romance portions tedious and cringe. 

I found the inner monologue of Scarlett frustrating, slow and honestly she was slightly unbareable.
