How did I come across the book?
Found it in shop.
What did I think?
I actually quite enjoyed this read. I found the ending quite predictable but in spite of this I was intrigued, unsure of how shallow the characters were or as this my first of Revis' books to read, how far she would take the story, and each character on their journey and relationship to one another. I thought the romance was cliché and could have used some more uncertainty to add to the suspense and keep me engaged. I must admit I'm a sucker for some ofthose 'lovey-dovey' moments Revis kept in. One aspect I liked was the idea behind the plot, it was utterly unique (as far as the introduction to the characters goes).
