3.5 stars

I liked this book, but I think it’s my least favorite of V’s so far. The idea was interesting and unique, but 90% of the book felt like a lot of build-up, and the last 10% seemed kind of rushed. I was also kind of confused by some things; it took me a long time to realize that the man in Mackenzie’s memories was her grandpa, and that he was dead while her dad was alive. That’s not necessarily a story flaw, just a personal issue. The one flaw I can think of is the slow pacing, which honestly detached me from the story. I liked Mackenzie and Wesley’s friendship and their banter, as well as the lack of romantic development between them. That will likely change, but for now I do like it.

All in all, I found this to be a very meh read. I don’t think I’ll read the sequel, but I’ll eagerly await more from V nonetheless.
