This book was just very...easy. Like everything came to the characters easy. It's clear the author had a good idea for a premise of a novel but didn't know how to build a compelling story out of it (which, as a writer, I can sympathize with. Sometimes, all you have in you are premises...not stories.) This book is being made into a film (or so I've heard) so maybe just watch the film instead and save yourself the trouble of reading this. ALTHOUGH if you do choose to read it, it's a quick read, so you won't have to be with it long.
