If halves were a thing, I'd give this 3.5 stars. The story was good and intriguing, I definitely felt sucked in and wanted to know what was going on. My major issue with the book was italics. Might not bother someone else, so I want to make it very clear that I would have given this book 4 stars if not for the overuse of italics within the story. The Rulz was always italicized. The ditch was always italicized. Both terms that were used quite often in the story. But on top of that, whole sentences and random other words and phrases were italicized and I couldn't get a grasp on why. The only other issue I really had with the book was wanting to know WHY they were called The Rulz, however, there are more books in this series so it's possible that will be explained eventually. I did like the way Ti questioned so much. She just didn't take everything at face value like some YA/NA characters do. She wanted to know why Claire hadn't stepped in before, she wanted to know why she was getting all of that attention. In spite of the things that bothered me about the book, I do want to know how the rest goes so I will likely read the rest of the series.
