I received an ARC of this book from BookishFirst. The summary given of the book did not do it justice at all. I enjoyed the beginning of the book when the characters were being introduced and their backstories were being given, but the rest of the book just dragged. I felt that some scenes gave too many details where others did not give enough details. I almost did not finish this book, but for some reason I really wanted to know how it ended. The ending was disappointing with almost all the characters enduring some sort of heartbreak. I know the author was trying to set up for the next book in the series, but she did it so that I was not at all interested in reading the next book. I will not be reading the sequel.
