early in the book, because I didn't feel that the author did a great job capturing the essence of teenagers. I felt that their dialogue was just not realistic, nor were their actions. I was bothered by Lover's Lane, where young lovers would park. I felt this was too cliche and I couldn't stop my eyes from rolling. However, I trudged forward. I discovered that the first chapter was much, much better than the prologue. There were parts of the book I enjoyed and parts I just didn't like. I did not laugh, so I cannot describe the book as a comedy in any way, shape or form. The characters were not quite as developed as I would like to see. I wanted Regina and Mitchell's relationship to be better developed. I wanted to see Mica and Justine develop relationships, but while the romantic ideas were not fully developed, the mystery was great, though somewhat predictable. (Can I use the word develop just one more time?) I would have liked a little more suspense in terms of the attempted murders. However, I was never really sure who the culprit was until the end and I loved that! For a murder mystery, it was pretty good, although could have used a bit more edge of the seat suspense. For a romance novel, it was pretty bad. All in all, I was fairly entertained hence the 3-stars!
