I wanted to love this book. I loved the premise and I absolutely love how we’re introduced to Alex, I loved him immediately.
But WAY too much time was spent on the past. Perhaps it might be important in the second book but the current story felt slow and didn’t progress. Once I knew the basics about what happened in the past I didn’t need to know anymore. More to the point, I didn’t want to know anymore. I wanted to know what was happening today and I got very little of that.
I also felt in the past JoJo was overly naive, and didn’t suit her age.
I’m sincerely hoping things progress more in the second book, they kind of have to in order to reach a conclusion, but this book was hard work. Sorry!
