4.0

She finds herself in a houseshare situation with 3 eclectic housemates, with whom she spends long days on the beach and time at parties.

I liked the vibe of this book, the setting was great, and the the characters, who are all very much clichés but all have their own voice. This was a tad too long to my taste, and I felt the ending was rushed (in such a long book, I would've liked the resolution to be more than 4 pages). I would've liked to see more development on some relationships. But I liked the touch of mystery in there!
