On numerous occasions I found myself wanting to DNF the book, because the plot was going nowhere and everything was just dragging, but I persevered for one big reason - this book is not your typical YA cliche book! It doesn't have the overused tropes, it doesn't have "girls turning stupid over boys" and it didn't have "Insta-love" (there was an instance where I thought it would go that way, but it didn't and I was very happy for it) - and those were reasons good enough for me to keep reading! It was refreshing to read something very different, even if in the end it all added up to pretty much nothing. But I have to say that when I did get used to the writing I really enjoyed it. Maybe because it was in first person, or maybe because it was different (not in a bad way) but it took me a while. At first it was also very hard for me to get used to the format of writing. When I was done reading it I felt like I just wasted all of my time for nothing - because nothing really got resolved, or even explained too well. Apparently it will be a series (which I didn't know) so the book never actually ended, but rather created an opening for the next book. It is not a bad book per say, it's just - useless? 400 pages of no apparent plot and no satisfactory ending. I am saddened to tell you that the illustrations remained to be the best thing about this book.
I picked up this book at a library on a whim - only because the page design and illustrations inside of it caught my eye.
