I don't know what it is about Malinda Lo's writing style, but it just isn't for me. It's very slow paced and somewhat bland, making it very hard for me to get invested in the story. I didn't really feel any connection to Jess or Angie or any other characters as they all seemed too shallow or obsessive. It very much felt like a "teen girls are all mean to each other" high school drama with a body count and that kind of story doesn't really thrill me.

I very much appreciate Lo's lesbian rep, which feels like a natural part of the story, I just wish the characters were little more interesting or developed. This whole story is full of plot threads that either go nowhere or unresolved, making the whole book very unsatisfying. And that epilogue plot twist was too little too late. 

Since I thought her other book, Ash, was a little better, I want to give the author a final shot at wowing me so hopefully I can find something of her's I can gel with.
