Cannot wait to be done. Will never read another Carrie Ann Ryan book again. She overexplains things; write mundane, stilted, brain-killing dialogue in a way that is often difficult to understand who is speaking; she assigns names that are FAR too similar to be in the same book (Lake, Luke, Leif... pick another letter please!) and just writes really boring stories involving WAY too many characters. NEVER AGAIN!

It’s so f’ing frustrating. This author does such a shitty job at alerting the reader to who is speaking. As if her writing isn’t already hard to follow, she gives us these large group conversations but completely fails to attribute any lines to specific characters. I DO NOT WANT TO READ ANY MORE OF HER BOOKS!! Too bad, because the plot ideas are appealing, but execution SUCKS!! She is not a good author.
