The whole way through this book I was thinking, "this book is so stupid, the writing is horrible, the plot is vapid, blah blah, *eye roll*", but I stayed awake far too late and had to finish it on my lunch break because I couldn't wait to see how it ended. So... is it a bad book if I couldn't put it down? No, certainly not. I do still think some of the dialouge was clunky and some plot points were rushed and I didn't love the ending. And there was a general feeling of disjointed-ness throughout (how do you run for your life in a corset so tight you can hardly breathe??), but overall it was fun, it kept my interest, and I did like Blackwell for most of the book. While it wasn't quite what I wanted it to be, it was a fine book. Perfectly fine.
