I liked this book quite a lot! It had an interesting plot and a main character I could sympathize with (although she sometimes felt a bit judgemental towards her classmates).
I didn't feel all that attached to the love interest and therefore felt nothing in particular towards their relationship. I did not actively dislike them but wish we could've gotten to know him a bit more. He was a nice guy, though, and I felt bad for how oblivious Alice was to his opinion of her.
I also wish we would've gotten to see more of the 'ghost' tasks. I was quite sad that there were only two or three tasks that we got to see throughout the book, as that plot point was the very thing that made me want to read the book in the first place.
The ending was the best part of the book; everything was tied together satisfactorily, with some commentary on how people are treated differently based on finical status and class.
