Loved the premise but the execution was terrible. The characters were inconsistent and they all had the same smug pseudo-intellectual way of speaking. Scenes would finish days after they started and in different locations to where they started with no transition; I found this very jarring. Overall, a fun piece of fan fiction that's inexplicably found itself as a book.
