Sometimes you receive a book & you think to yourself "this is almost too good to be true". Beautiful cover, amazing summary and what appeared to be stunning reviews so surely, there must be something wrong with it... Right? 
 I'm so glad I was wrong. 
 I absolutely loved this on all accounts. S.M McEachern's writing style had me hooked from the first page as we followed the story of Sunet (Sunny) who was, to me, a very interesting character, I found her voice very realistic and though I didn't agree with all the choices she might have made (leading her on a journey that was obviously long overdue in her community) I never the less respected her reasonings and voice throughout. She was neither whiney nor was she too kick ass, two very big personalities with YA characters lately. She was somewhere in between and dare I say it? Normal. 
 Jack, on the other hand, was a character I initially hated. I found his actions fake and him voice annoying, not swoon worthy. I didn't actually consider him a love interest until around 60% in and by around 80% I began to finally understand why I didn't like him. I won't give it away, but put it this way; as far as character develop goes, this guy takes the cake and the best part? His journey is so subtle that you only really realise it when he opens up about it himself. There's a reason I hated him at first and a reason I liked him at the end and that journey made me appreciate him as a character even more. 
 The pace was a little dragged, but at the same time I feel it was needed as nothing was overly rushed and the characters actions seemed more realistic because of it. Can't recommend this enough!! Looking forward to the sequel, as the cliff hanger ending has left me wanting more more mooooooore <3
