I love Lisa Jewell's books. I disliked this one! I kept waiting for something to happen but it dragged. The characters were dull and boring and I didn't empathize with any of them. Couldn't get past half the book.

I was expecting this book to suck me in and hold on tight, but instead this one almost put me to sleep very early on. It was fairly predictable, so I felt like it didn't really have any twists or surprises.

I felt like I only ever felt a connection with Owen, who surprisingly was probably supposed to be somehow disliked by his weird lifestyle and online habits. Saffyre's interest in Roan's family was a bit intriguing, only because it made me wonder what people can learn by watching from the outside. She knew more about what was going on in their home than they knew about themselves.

I can't think of a single twist in the story that ever surprised me. It ended exactly how I figured it would. If this had been the first book by Jewell I had ever read, I probably wouldn't pick up another book by her again. However, I recently read another of her books so I will venture out to try more of them. I just think this one missed the mark for me.

This kept me turning pages and mostly I liked it. I did feel a couple of things were a little over the top but I'll chalk those up to the fact that teenagers can be stupid and love can be blind.
