It's weird that, now, several months after reading this novel, I suddenly feel like reviewing it. It's strange, but I figured I'd just go with it.

Two stars for me generally means that I didn't like the novel, but I can still see how others can.

Initially, I think the problem was that I went into this novel expecting an awesome science fiction story. Unfortunately, I didn't read the synopsis properly; it had science fiction elements, but, ultimately, it was a romance.

I don't have anything against romance, but I prefer my romance to be in the background. In this novel, it was prominently in the foreground of everything for almost the entirety of the book. In the mad chase for a murderer, Marguerite still thought it would be okay to pause for a while and focus on her love life. I personally just can't deal with that. It got less annoying for me in the second half, but I really had difficulty reading for the entire first half of this novel.

I think it's important for science fiction novels, despite the fact that they are fiction, to feel real. For me, at least, this novel's scientific concept didn't feel real. The concepts were presented, but I was never fully convinced. The entire time, it felt kind of off. That really took away from my experience as well.

It also has a love triangle, which, in itself, I don't think is a bad thing. The one presented in this novel is so typical though: The main character is an insecure girl, who, over and over again, explains to us how average and forgettable she is. Two boys, roughly the same age as the main character, are introduced to us. It turns out that the two boys are both in love with her.

It's overused.

That being said, it was a pretty easy read, and one that I flew through once I (eventually) got more into it and put aside my negative opinions for a while. If you are a fan of romance novels, aren't too particular about your science fiction, and don't really mind reading about the usual love triangle, you could easily love this novel. Unfortunately, I didn't fit any of those categories, so this novel wasn't for me.
