2.5/5 
 The main reason I can't fully give this book 3 stars is because I spent half of it thinking "Sounds fake, but okay". Some reviews took the time to list what was bothering me, so there's no need for me to do it again. 
 I could have dropped to 2 stars, but I'm genuinely interested in the characters and I still want to read Book 2, so that's a 3 stars in the eyes of Goodreads. ;)
