The Thousandth Floor

Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl but in a futuristic sky rise city. There are five perspective characters, three of which are nearly identical rich girls. It's exhausting to keep them straight. The prologue has an unnamed girl falling from the top floor. By the time the story reaches that point again, I was still getting characters mixed up enough that it took me a bit to be sure who it was.

A dumb future is better than this dystopian present, so I'll probably continue the series. But I'll probably wish I hadn't.

After five years of sitting around on my bookshelves, I figured it was finally time to pick up this book and omigod every bad review of this book is wrong. I mean, there is no plot and all the characters are awful people, but I survive off of drama and this book has given me more energy then my daily naps ever will.

I'm so conflicted. I was hoping for more serious things, although it did end that way the biggest part of this book was just drama between friends. Keeping track of who is dating who again also took some legit effort. 

The whole thing with Avery and Atlas was also just not great. What is it with authors writing about ‘technically' not incest couples. This weird kink needs to be kept out of books. And that is their only struggle in all this. How am I supposed to sympathise with that.

I also really don't like that Leda didn't die. I hoped she'd be the one falling down the building. Her character sucks and I get that it's a whole addiction thing, but besides that she also just isn't a likable person. Only Merial, Watt and Cord were characters that I kinda liked. And they didn't get all that much attention. 

I'm really torn about the sequels. No idea if I wanna read those.
