Review: dragged out so much, I gave up at 75%

I really enjoyed Documentary, and was looking forward to Remake. However, the book starts out in such a confusing way and it took until the 25% to become enjoyable...then it kept losing me along the way. The book jumps around between present tense with Bryce and Erica, Erica and Dylan making the documentary, and flashbacks....it's so abrupt and jars you out of any flow.It also takes forever for Erica to tell Bryson...it simply did not make sense. When she finally does, it was anticlimactic and mechanical. The flashbacks were also too long and detailed, I kept skimming them. The Matt character was also odd, and it was strange how Erica "cherished" their friendship so quickly despite how creepy he was (he was way too intense about her and totally stalked her...plus people kept throwing clues as to who he was). She somehow became naive with him despite the fact she is written to be savvy about her safety elsewhere.I do not need to finish the book, I think I already figured out most angles early on...and if not, it's not worth the effort to find out how it resolves.  Overall it was just too messy and unbelievable. My patience simply ran out...so much so I didn't even bother flipping to the end to see how it resolves.
