I had pretty high hopes for this book because I've heard a lot of good things about this writer, but this just really did not impress me. I was not invested at all in Jacaranda or any of the other characters. I don't understand her relationship with Max & the dialogue just read really weird to me at times. Also I kinda hate books that talk a lot about NYC or LA or any other major city because I just don't think they're as interesting as residents of those cities like to think... sorry! All in all, not enough sex & not enough rage. :(
