This book...is so intolerable. It has a great premise and I enjoyed the set-up. However, nothing went well in this book for me. All the twists just started to feel like a soap opera, making no twist actually impactful. This had the set-up for a complex mystery and instead turned into a reverse-harem, teen drama with too much random angst. All the interesting aspects of the plot, like Avery's intelligence, is ignored for most of the book. So yeah, I might be in the minority on this but this book was so bad!
