The struggle was real with this one. I can see why this book is a popular dnf. If it wasn't for the fact I was reading this for a challenge, I would have stopped half way through too. I didn't like the characters. There were too many, and most of them annoyed me. This was written more as a middle grade book as opposed to young adult, which I don't appreciate when it's shelved primary as young adult. I found most of this to be boring, and it just wasn't the book for me.
