This book has two sides for me.
On one hand has it a very good concept, that is quite good executed and a nice plot twist.
On the other hand takes it a lot of time until more exciting things are happening and I didn’t like the character at all. They didn’t feel like 13 to me, more like 16 and older, and that’s weird, because she is supposed to be 13. Also they misspelled her name a couple of times throughout the book.
It took me much resilience to overcome the first 100 pages, and then a lot more for the rest of the book. After 200 pages, some tension was building and I didn’t stop anymore, but I still skipped a ton of pages to come to the end.
And the end… they really tried to solve everything up in a nice, little red bow with everyone trying to be better.
My conclusion is that this book had a very good premise and a semi-good way to use it.
