Usually I like or love books written in verse but I felt this one was lackluster and boring. I do not think  that my boredom stemmed from the topics discussed in the book. I actually find the topics in this book to be pretty intriguing. My boredom was plain and simple due to my burgeoning dislike of the main character Rynn’s personality. I found Rynn to be naïve ,immature, and whiny at times. This book reads more like a middle grade novel rather than the teen novel it is categorized as.
