1.5/5 
 Feels as if I'm being too generous with my rating. I plunged into the book with good expectations. But it just proved to be a book filled with stereotypes (especially in the convention part...). I was contemplating on putting the book down all the while. The characters irritated me. The story irritated me. But I finished reading it nonetheless. I guess I was kind of hoping that it would ~maybe~ get better farther along. But I reached the end and nothing.
