** spoiler alert ** 
 3.5 stars 
 **SPOILERS FOR THE END*** 
 Okay, so there is less than 10 pages left and I'm thinking: Oh no, she is gonna get shot and the author is gonna kill of the main character. And then i thought they are both gonna get shot and they are both gonna get killed off and then I thought only Chet was gonna get shot. And then you don't see it and Stella thinks he was shot but actually Carmina shot the bad guy, like good shot Carmina, and everyone lives. 
 Except for Trigger. 
 And the hit man. 
 And possibly Reed??? 
 And the lots of others before the book even starts 
 The protagonist says and thinks a lot of stupid stuff and it annoyed me how quick she jumped from/ no longer cared about Reed to Chet. And we are supposed to change ships. I found it irritating how she justifies how Chet is so much better for her than Reed is- with no solid evidence- for no other reason than to try and make the readers hate Reed. I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN BOOKS WHEN THE AUTHOR TRIES TO JUMP THE MAIN CHARACTER FROM LOVE INTEREST TO LOVE INTEREST #2. However, I looked past annoying characters because of the plotline. I usually love character driven books over the plot-driven books, but I didn't like the characters in this book, so I only had the plot. By plot I mean, the main premise for this book was interesting, but Stella's at first humourous, but actually really annoying antagonistic attitude about everything, and the nitty-gritty details of the story didn't cut it for me. Now when I think about it, I should give this 3 stars, but whatever. 
 This was a quick read and I enjoyed the writing style, but reading from the protagonist's perspective was so tiresome. Also, we don't really get any closure, the book sort of just cuts off. This is why I don't generally read stand alone books.
