My server recently had a discussion about book titles that didn't fit the books they were for and this one definitely fits in that category. The pact? Don't worry about it. It's not relevant. 

The dialogue was just...a lot. There were so many lols and acronyms thrown in that seemed strange to say out loud (doubly so in the audiobook version!) in dialogue. It may (??) have been written the way people talk (teenagers talk), but the rest of it didn't feel natural, and I don't want people using lols and ums in my book anyway, to be honest. That's the fun part of reading. I don't need filler words. The back and forth in time was also annoying. I get that she's trying to communicate with her mother from a dream world (not a spoiler--this is obvious from page 1), but the sudden drop of memories and her constant "oh I wish I knew what happened" as a way of writing was unpleasant.

The characters were not fun to follow either.  I wanted to strangle two of the three main POVs all the time, and only one of them was a teenager, who may be forgiven for it. All three were boring, though, and that's the cardinal sin. 

The plot was pretty obvious from the start. I had someone pegged as a problem immediately and, surprise! they became a problem. Trying not to spoil anything here, so apologies for the vague language, but despite having a few small surprises, nothing about this was particularly shocking, and that's a problem with a thriller. 

I'm unimpressed enough I won't be picking up the rest of her oeuvre.
