I really wanted to love this book because everyone else just raves about it. Instead, this book just fell flat for me.

The characters were just infuriating. Echo just whines the whole time and hides behind everyone else, and Noah... I can't even. "The court won't give me custody of my brothers. I don't understand why- all I do is smoke pot every night, drink, get in fist fights, and sleep with every girl." I just wanted to throw my Kindle against a wall, but I wouldn't do that because it's my baby. Also, am I the only one who found their romance a little... awkward and creepy? Every time Noah would say something "sweet and sexy" or touch Echo, I made a face and resisted the urge to groan. The only character I semi-liked was Isaiah, and I still wanted to knock some sense into him. Even the mystery wasn't that good or exciting, and the writing didn't stand out to me in any way.

The only reason I gave this book two stars was the ending, which was the only part I did enjoy besides the occasional banter or parts thrown in for comic relief. I can see why so many people loved this book, but it just wasn't for me. I wish I could say I loved it, but I probably won't be picking up the next book.
