was a bit thrown by the happy-go-lucky tone of the book but i got used to it and ended up having a great time hanging out with alex and her friends. there wasn't much depth but i had fun and it was a fast easy read.
 i'm interested to see if this tone will be maintained in the following books. if not, i think it'll definitely feel like whiplash. also i'll fucking scream if there's a love triangle between her and the two boys. i love them as friends and i think forcing them into a romance will cheapen the whole thing >:( but we'll see
