This is a YA novel, I don't, in general, like reading YA stuff. Even when I was a young adult, but now, as an adult, I find it a bit creepy to be reading about teen romance. I tried to pretend the teenagers in this book were actually 20 and not 16 and it made me feel better. Granted nearer to the end they'd say more teenage things and act a bit more angsty but it was manageable. The book actually has not bad world-building and if it weren't for it being YA, I might have really enjoyed it. As it was it was ok, if you can handle YA, which I can't, but I wish the characters were older so I could have enjoyed it and that's maybe as good as a YA book can get.
