I will preface this review by sharing that I met Sarah in 1998 when we both were freshmen at the University of Pittsburgh so there may be a small amount of bias in that I know the author. That being said I was really pleased with how well she did on this book. The characters were engaging and we really dug into what makes Lucy tick from the get go. The world Sarah has built is very solid and I like that she didn't spend a huge amount of time trying to make sense of it all just told you like it is any you get to go along for the ride. I found out that the version of the book I got was an early release and the typos were caught and are not in the current version on the Kindle Store. My only real complaint would be with the editor or designer as there were a few typographical mistakes that I would have expected to be caught. My other complaint is that it ended so soon. I read the last quarter of the book in one night because I was so engrossed in it. I hit the last page and it felt like I hit a brick wall. I just wanted more of it.
I enjoyed the character interaction and development and liked that there were personal emotional connections in the story and did not include the smut that has begun to creep into some of the YA books. It was a very enjoyable read and I look forward to book two and seeing where this all goes.
