I received an advance review copy from Wednesday Books through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.

1.5 stars

I finished this book because I wanted to give it a fair chance to demonstrate character development and all that, but I wish I'd saved myself the frustration. Even at the very end, Cassie is incredibly judgmental and snobby, self-absorbed, spiteful — it doesn't seem to sink in that her actions actually hurt other people, just that she was meant to learn a series of karmic lessons (because the world revolves around her, of course).

FRTC.
