1.0

The author used way too many references to other books, stories, and films to describe what was transpiring in Harriet’s life. So much so it robbed the story from reading as original. I wanted to like this book so bad, but i ended up “hate” finishing the book — hoping that it would all make sense in the end. Is it possible that it went over my head a bit? Sure. But the underground world and multi-universe, the revenge of the “nerds” (?), and the writing of it all just lost me. 

I really did love the cover on this and the synopsis sounded more up my alley. Yet the overall delivery of the story was confusing and dreadful.
