ALRIGHT let's see. 
 This book is a Mess. I still can't quite tell if I mean that in a positive in a negative way. I will TRY to write some of my thoughts down. 
 E. Lockhart is one hell of a writer, I'll give you that. Her style, the way she describes and beautifully narrates everything is what makes you fall in love with this book at first. But leaving that aside... 
 It is just. Ugh. First of all, the ending is a bit flighty. I mean, nothing really happens until the fourth part of the book and from then on it is just BOOM BOOM BOOM THIS HAPPENED AND THIS AND THIS AND THAT AND AND AND 
 I guess that was exactly the intention of the writer, but I found it messy. 
 But it is not even that. I think my actual problem with this book was that I didn't connect with any of the characters. I know the lack of description at the beginning is part of the novel's charm, but it made the characters frivolous to me. I just couldn't contamplate many of the things these people did, how they all acted. No connection, no tears, because I didn't feel like I knew them. No empathy. To me, they were all strangers. I didn't even have feels for the romantic couple of this book since it was, you know, straight. Sorry, guys. Gay and Lesbian Romance will always be my priority. 
 Now, the plot twist... I can't deny it left me with my mouth open. I was NOT expecting that. But man, you gotta give me more than a surprising plot twist for me to consider the story any good. So many things are in fault here to me, I can't give it more than 2 stars, maybe 2.5 
 Did I like it? No, not really. Do I consider it was a waste of time? Not at all. It is not a long book, and i gotta admit, the ending was a hell of a journey. Would I recommend it? Surprisingly, yes. I can see how people might like it. It is a book worth reading. 
 All in all, it was an interesting experience. WHICH does not mean i liked it. 
 did i make any sense at ALL?
