» PLOT «
Jack "June" O'Donnell and Saul Angert's families have been in a feud for nearly 4 generations. Every time something bad has happened to the Angerts, something bad also happens to the O'Donnells. Their families spend all of the lives avoiding each other, but after literally colliding with Saul, their lives become intertwined. As their connection grows over time, they embark on a mission to find out why their families are in a feud and whether or not their curse can be broken.
The first half of the book was really focused on the meeting/relationship of June and Saul, while the second half was dedicated to their families and the curse(s). I personally preferred the first half, it featured the characters more than the plot/curse.
I think the plotline was very loose and not well planned. It wasn't really satisfying, and I found myself skipping certain parts to get more character interactions and such.
» READABILITY «
This book was really easy to read in the beginning, but toward the end, I found myself skimming some of the pages. The pacing was okay, ranging from slow to medium.
» CHARACTERS «
I like the two main characters and their friends, but other than them, I didn't like anyone else. The family feud was literally just perpetuated by the fact thatnobody in their families communicated with anyone at all. This story was created by the fact that nobody thought to inform their children about anything. And you can say that they were trying to protect their children from death, but after 4 generations, you'd think they'd try and do something about their curses or even just try anything else but keep secrets .

The writing was good, but I found myself skipping some parts.

While reading this book, I had a great time. But now that it's been a few days, this book is good, but not 5 star great.
