5 Minute Review 
 Like: 
 Duval: He's the main squeeze. Not a jerk! Love him. (Is it sad that that's all it takes for me to like a YA male character. Sigh. Authors, quit making boys into jerks!) 
 Plot: A little predictable but sill enjoyable. 
 Setting: It's built up well. 
 Sex: A YA book that acknowledges sex is a thing! 
 Cover: What is it about a girl in a red dress that drives me mad? 
 THERE IS NO LOVE TRIANGLE!! 
 Didn't Like: 
 Ismae: It's not that she's unlikable. It's more that she's kind of boring. Sad. 
 Why they have sex: Really? Really? That's the big mystery? MMhm. 
 Pacing: Parts of the book are real drags. 
 "Womanly Charms": I get it. Please quit saying it. 
 Duval's Mother: That was fixed/dropped pretty fast. Not impressed. 
 Sybella is the next one and I really want to read it!
