My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 I really wish that I could've split this book into two halves and rated each of those separately. 
 The Long Version: 
 This review is also being written on my phone so I'll try and keep it brief and elaborate more later. 
 This book captured my attention from page one. Okay, technically it was page nine, but it was the first actual page of the story so to keep it simple I'll refer to it as page one. The opening page was well written with a stunning hook that made me want to devour the entire book in one sitting. It gave the promise that this book would be coating in mystery and be a fast-paced and thrilling/wild ride until the very end. 
 The first half of the book stuck to that promise. The second half...did not. 
 I loved the POV changes. At first each POV sounded very similar and I had difficulty distinguishing between each, but after awhile I was able to hear a distinct Wink, Poppy, and Midnight voice. 
 Wink is someone who reminded me of Luna Lovegood (granted I've only seen the movies so I have no idea what her character is like in the books) because the two both have this magical way of speaking (or in Wink's case, thinking) in circles and riddle-like sentences that each sounds so mystical. Everything they say sounds magical. 
 Poppy is the girl you love to hate. In some ways she reminded me of Parker from Cracked Up to Be. Both are rude and only interact with others if it serves their own purpose. Or perhaps both are more real because they don't try to convince themselves that they are good. They know they are bad and accept it. 
 Midnight is the poor fuck stuck in this hot mess getting thrown around like a boomerang. 
 I loved, loved, loved, 
 loved 
 the first half of this book. I totally thought it was going to be a five star rating. But then the climax hit and it was, well, anticlimactic after that. 
 Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with how it ended. I wasn't really shocked by much of it. If I was rating each portion, the first half would get 5 stars and the second half would get 2 stars. If I'm being generous I guess the whole book could get 3.5 stars. 
 It just sucks because I was so excited to read this book and it has so much promise and then it crashed and burned (view spoiler)[quite literally, the plot caught on fire (hide spoiler)]. I really didn't like the whole (view spoiler)[is she, is she not a ghost (hide spoiler)] plot line. It was cliched and predictable. However, I did like the (view spoiler)[ Wink and Poppy being sort of manipulative "friends" (hide spoiler)] plot line. I didn't see it coming. 
 I guess I just wished that this was a short story rather than a full length novel, which is weird because usually I would say the opposite. However, I think that if the book was cut off halfway with a huge cliffhanger (like with The Grownup) then I would've liked it better rather than having the meh second half. 
 Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad book. I enjoyed her writing style and Wink Poppy Midnight kept me entertained until the end, but it probably a pretty book that will just sit on my shelf, completely forgettable until one day i pull it off the shelf and wonder what the book with the pretty cover was about, read it and then go oh, it was that one and put it back to collect dust.
