Lost is my favorite TV show, so seeing the blurb on this and reading the synopsis got me so excited.
I can't believe how fast I stopped caring about anything.
This reads so overly dense and descriptive, but also extremely young. We're pummeled with characters in the first TINY bit of the book. With the introduction of Xela, I knew this was not for me. It absolutely reeks of man-writing-hot-woman-because-she-is-hot-and-different. It's absolutely insufferable. Talking about her “t!ts” and how she doesn't mind being topless because she's hot and “it's just a body”. Bleh bleh bleh “make sure you bring enough beer for the whole class next time”. Couldn't roll my eyes any farther back into my head.
She's the most pick-me girl I've read in my adult life, and in the most surface-level teen B-movie script way just made me want to never read again.
Between the dense descriptions on every page and the characters that make me have to take an Advil, my disappointment in this book is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
