One of my high school teacher-friends told me about this book/series, and warned me that it was addictive-- and she was right. I laugh at the quote on the back cover from Publisher's Weekly that says, "A cross between The Hunger Games (minus the bloodsport) and The Bachelor (minus the bloodsport),...." because that is truly what the book reminds me of. 
 I loved the book and the main characters. I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. to finish. I got up the next morning and went to the bookstore to buy the next book. Yes, this one is fun, and interesting, and really hard to put down. I'm sure it won't be long until I've finished the series!
