Solid 3.5 for me. I really liked the concept of this book and the plot was relatively solid. However, the characters and Barrer's way of carrying out the plot had some pretty big weaknesses. Barrer's writing felt very out of touch with the young generation he was trying to represent in this and really missed the mark on writing a believable female perspective which was 1 of the 3 perspectives we had in this book. If these books weren't short I don't think I would have moved on to the second book and I honestly might have stopped mid-way in this book. However, the concept was compelling enough and it was short enough that I went on to the second book.
