I think I liked this a lot more than I would have if I'd read it alone, so I'm glad I went the Buddy Read route. 

Was fairly disappointed in the lack of...actual capital e Evil. The side characters were more well-developed than our ostensible lead (who definitely gave off Not Like Other Girls energy) and I was just frustrated with every decision she made AND HER ABSOLUTE BLINDNESS TO THE UNTWISTY TWIST. 

All that said, I had fun with it and will pick up the sequel when it comes out. 

3.9 rounded up.
