3 star books are always an ambiguous field for me. It can sometimes mean the book wasn't all that good but there was enough in it for me to like it. Or it can also mean it's a good book but there are too many pet peeves to give it a higher rating. This book is probably of the second group. For every thing I liked about it there was one I didn't and some things I still can't decide about. 
 So let's start with the positive stuff. It's a quick read and once the story started going I didn't want to put it down. The main characters, Juliette and Adam, are a lovely couple. Often in YA books I can't understand why the couple have fallen in love. This is not the case, you can see why they fall for each other. 
 Okay, there wasn't all that much negative stuff about this book. I just lacked a lot of explanations. I suppose some of it will be explained in the next novel but the ending was not really an ending, it was too short. Even though you can tell exactly where the next book is going to pick up, there's no cliffhanger. I guess I didn't find the ending satisfying enough because it doesn't promise answers to the questions I still have. 
 One thing I'm not decided on is the narrative. I got used to the strikeouts for all the thoughts Juliette didn't want to think and also the heaps of adjectives, those I also took as part of Juliette's thought process. I'm still not sure if I liked to read something written like that though but it sure was something different from books I've been reading lately. 
 As for the characters, I liked them but there wasn't enough development (I love character-driven books), so that's another +/- thing for me. The other characters like Warner of Kenji were interesting but we learned hardly anything about them, so that's what I am hoping to find in the next book. 
 In conclusion, three stars of teh good variety.
