I finished it two weeks ago, but only now found some time to write about it.The novel was quite funny (I especially enjoyed the episode with Rose in her fur coat). It has a lot of love triangles which were really interesting to read about. The only thing that prevented me from really liking the novel was that I didn't like the characters. Some of them were even annoying. For example, I kept forgetting that Rose was older than Cassandra just because she was acting like a child.
There were some interesting twists but by the end of the book, I really wanted it to end. Maybe it was too young adult-ish for me because I was irritated a lot with how immature the people in this novel were.
Yes, I really wanted to DNF it.... I'm glad it's over. lol.
I read this in my teens and it was easily a favourite.I wonder if it would hold up to a reread.
