This book is quite easy to read and all the characters are well formed and written. The 5 main characters are diverse and even the supporting characters seem to have some depth. I felt the book was a bit short however, where once the characters had been established and the plot started it ended quite abruptly with an ending which summarised the future of each of the characters in a then x happened kind of way. Would have loved another 100 pages of story and interaction. The chapters switching between each person is a nice touch and something I've come to enjoy in others of Couplands books
