This book was hard for me to take, I felt sorry for Serene, but I didn't. Usually when a book gets to me I put it down and wait to see if it's worth the emotion, but this time I just kept reading. I had to know what happened, to her, to him, to everyone. It makes you think, if there is a past life and you do something terrible, do you deserve to suffer through the rest of them? There were a lot of moments where I was upset with the Fates, the bullies, even Ryder, so I think it was well written, it takes a lot to get to me.
