I always read the reviews before downloading any books.  This was a real disappointment to me after seeing a reference to Twilight.  I assumed this was a book that could be enjoyed by different generations like Twilight. This isn't in the same league and is in my opinion for younger readers than those who enjoy the Twilight series and even then could prove to be a disappointment unless you're looking for a Christian/born again type of read.  As a mature reader, I found this slow and sophomoric at best and as others have stated predictable. So if you're a mature reader looking for something as addicting as Twilight or Hunger Games this is NOT it.  If you're a parent trying to warn your middle school child about "bad" influences, how rumors can hurt people, avoiding drugs and sex, and how God can see them through everything perhaps this is for you.  The vocabulary is simple other than the quotes from the Bible about 75% through the book you may have to explain to your child. There's nothing wrong with Christian reads (I've read plenty) I just felt misled with some of the reviews so now you've got another view point.I got 85% through this book and as I rarely do, I stopped reading it and moved on to something else.
