Damn, this was disappointing.

The plot had a lot of holes, character motivations and actions often didn’t make sense, writing style was inconsistent and… just bad at times (too many pop-culture references, it was all just trying too hard), characters were pretentious and unlikeable and so POORLY-/UNDER-DEVELOPED (a flaw I can’t overlook), the ending felt rushed… I was so bored the entire time, yet everything felt rushed and underdeveloped?

Remind me to stop picking up teen fiction. My 25-year-old brain is too cynical and unforgiving.
