3.5 stars

At first I was totally sure I was rereading this, because the beginning was super familiar; as I read on, I became less certain, and by the end I had decided that I probably just read an excerpt of the first couple of chapters (probably included at the end of Savvy). Part of my confusion came from how predictable the plot was — I knew exactly what would happen, but was it because I'd already read it or because it was tropey? (Or both?)

Still, it's a fun enough read. FRTC.
