About the writing style:
When I started reading this book, I was immediately thrown off by the writing style. The writing style is more poetic than other novels I have read, so it almost made me want to put the book down. But I stuck through it and ended up liking Lockhart's style of writing more than I expected.

About the plot:
I felt like the plot is very interesting, but I was frustrated with the fact that it starts off moving so slow, then in the last twenty pages or so, plot twist after plot twist after plot twist is revealed. I almost wish that Lockhart would have included more hints, more flashbacks throughout the story, so they wouldn't just be in the last bit of the book. But, all in all, the ending felt pretty satisfying all things considered. I wouldn't want it any other way.

About the characters:
I wanted to like the characters so bad, and a part of me did, but mostly I just had a hard time connecting to/caring about any of them. Maybe it has some thing to do with the fact that they are mega-rich and super privileged, and I'm not. They also just didn't feel like real people sometimes. But even with all that, the characters had moments that made me genuinely like them/feel bad for them/etc. I wish there would have been more character development for characters other than Cadence, then maybe I would have liked them more. 

Overall:
This was a good read. I would probably reread this story, especially to better understand how Lockhart set up every chapter in preparation for the plot twist.
