Review: Interesting start of a series

I liked this book and it did get me interested in continuing the series but some parts of the book were slow. I didn't like how Gee always thought people thought less of her because she was poor. It felt like we went through her life day to day, same thing, school, home, work. I loved when Seth became part of the story, I found the idea of Guardians to be unique and I loved how deeply he cared for her. I did not understand what power Gee had and what good it did, this was a learning process but then when she took care of the little boy it hit me, okay this will be neat to see what happens next. I liked her relationship with Stu and wished they could have had a restaurant together. The simple gesture of giving Gee the white Rose and that Rose staying beautiful the whole time even into the next book is a great symbol of Seth's love for her. When Gee finally tells her mother what she thinks and how her life has been affected because of the choices her mother makes was great, good for her, it was ridiculous how Gee always had to be the adult. Then Arsen comes into the picture, I knew something was up with him right from the start and what he ends up doing, oh my gosh it was so sad. By the end of this book I was hooked and ready to move on to the next book, anxious to see what happens with Gee and Seth especially.
