The Inital Insult by Mindy McGinnis
3.5
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

God, Mindy McGinnis is such a tremendous writer. I'm so happy she writes YA. If it weren't for her (and a few others -- Katrina Leno and Courtney Summers come to mind) I would've given up reading YA entirely.
This works fine as a standalone, but taken in concert with its sequel, it's a tour de force.
