3.75 I guess it was for the "younger" part of young adult. There were some flaws, but overall, I liked this book; it was light and humorous. 
 Before you run away to go look for some better book though, the book actually gets better; there were a few big twists at the end. (view spoiler)[And for such a "light" book, there were some murders. (hide spoiler)] The prologue was funny; I found myself (quietly) laughing at some other places in the book. The middle, unfortunately, dragged a little. Pretty much most of the book was drama; then the end came along with its twists. If you like drama, this is good for you. If you don't, fortunately, it's short and you have the ending to look forward to. Personally, I really liked the last scene. (view spoiler)[That image of Elodie walking... (hide spoiler)] 
 Archer was too cliche. Nothing was really memorable about him for me. And, honestly, I've read so many amateur bad-boy type cliche stories last year (not to mention horrible), well, I ended up forgetting how he looked like. >.< And then there was the professor. She resembled Dumbledore a lot. Maybe it was purposely, maybe it was accidental. Whatever it was, I didn't really like it. 
 I liked Jenna and eventually ended up liking Elodie. Alice was totally vice versa. This book wasn't really tense though, so I didn't really feel much for the characters. 
 The chapter endings were dramatic (which I liked). Sometimes cuss words were alluded to, but not specifically mentioned. ("Young" Adult.) 
 Honestly, I wanted to know how the classes taught the witches to hide themselves from humans. I mean, that's the whole point of the school, right? Hide yourself from the humans and control your magic and all that. It would have been nice if the author showed the readers some of what the witches learned at school. (view spoiler)[In one of the classes, it explained them making dresses appear with spells. It's nice if you liked drama, but honestly I preferred the boggart demonstration in Harry Potter.
