let me start by saying that I am super super picky with my books, if the author can't keep me excited about a story I abandon the book.I loved the story and the characters. It was paced very well and had some genuinely surprising twists and turns. She built suspense between her character and made them three dimensional so that the reader was emotions invested.  These are THE MOST important aspects of a book for me, and she nailed it!The writing was really distracting however. I think the author may have originally meant for the book to be told in the first person, then changed her mind, forcing her to repeat their names a lot to the point where it disturbed the flow of the writing. At one point Ell was written 4 times within a 5 sentence paragraph. Also the furthermore's and consequently's lent for a poor narrative. I sometimes dealt like a was reading a term paper. The dialog is where she shined. What was lacking in the narrative was made up for through her characters words.Overall it was a good book, with another round of editing I think it could have been great. I do recommend it and I'm looking  forward to the next book. :)
