WOW. Just... fucking wow. The main character is so.... horribly written. I understand where Jennifer was coming from. I understood what she wanted to do but how she wrote it was so poorly done. Everything was so badly placed. Besides that the story was good, had good potential to be better but uhm that ending had me.

This is the least atmospheric book of hers I've read. Almost cringe worthy at times.
