I wanted to like this book. It started out promising and then dragged. I actually put the book down and came back to it four days later. I NEVER DO THAT! If I have to stay up late to finish, I do.The good: I liked many of the characters. The author did a great job with the main characters, and the best friend. She also was very good at showing their insecurities and putting their emotions and fears into their inner dialogue. I understood both main characters and they drew me in. They were not enough to win me over.The bad: One of the worst covers I have seen in a long time. It does nothing to draw in the reader. The story itself needs editing. Some words were wrong, say instead of stay. Also jarring transition from some paragraphs. The story didn't flow. I would turn the page and have to go back. The "mystery" was also lame. It was over simplified, as if for a child to figure out. This felt like a rough draft, or the first book by a struggling author who hasn't found her voice yet.Overall, I give it 2 stars. I'm frustrated with the glut of books available of amazon that are sub-par. This could have been good, but it was rushed to the public, or maybe it was done to make quick cash. I don't know, but it didn't feel like a real book, and sadly that seems to be the new norm on amazon. No quality control. I probably wont be reading this author again.
