I gave this book 2.7 and rounded it up. The ending made this series for me. I barely liked this series till the last few chapters. This book was so predictable! This book dragged on and on for me. The main characters, (who obviously were attracted to each other) thought they were brother and sister for way to long. Too much detail was put into the homosexual relationships for my tastes also. I think I might have enjoyed this series more if I was younger, gay and got turned on by incest. After that harsh statement, I will follow up with saying that I liked the characters, especially Simon, and I hated Sebastian, which is a good thing. Any book that can make me feel a strong emotion like that deserves the credit for it. I'm not interested in reading the next book though.
