After thinking on this book for the night, I've decided that I liked it enough to read the next one. A lot of ppl were upset about the love triangle aspect of it, but I don't think it can really be considered a "love" triangle. The main character (Lia) has a lot of growth and maturity throughout the book, and both of the male characters have a lot to do with it. The story wouldn't have been the same without one or the other. That being said, the first half of the book was downright boring. Nothing much happens except for the characters getting to know each other and us getting to know them. Once the plot started to pick up, I couldn't put it down. Mary Pearson has a way with words that draws you in without being too flowery. It definitely wasn't a favorite book, but it was good to pass the time and read during the terribly subliminally political Oscars.
