Ehh...I really didn't find much captivating about this book. Throughout the whole thing, Jennifer is shown as a highly mysterious character, and I was so hoping for some kind of big reveal, a supernatural twist, whatever, about her, and none came. There was no big climax, just a steady slope all the way through. I can say that the characterization was very good, placing small details that made you love the characters. But the details were taken too far sometimes, making for some dull reading. Once you finish, you leave the book wondering what the point of it was, only to find that there really wasn't one.

Rating: 1.5/5
