I was really excited to read this book, and I was fascinated by the concept. My main problem with this book though, and why I couldn't give it more stars is that it was just too slow to start. I struggled in the beginning and it wasn't until more than halfway that I was "sucked in." I'm not sure why, but there it is. I also have a sliiiiiight issue with the budding "romance" because I mean...I just think it's kind of odd and slightly creepy. I also found the main character to be a bit whiny and just... I didn't love him. I was more fascinated with the minor characters, but they had little to no growth. 
 This entire book was written with the intent of another, as more questions were raised than there was room to answer. 
 I loved the concept, like I said, but at the end of the day it just left me wanting more.
