Reading progress update: I've read 100%.

It's a cute story for teens but that's it. The flashbacks didn't work for me. Some were boring. But it's an OK read, nothing epic, just OK.
Good ending. Like I said, it was kind of boring until that last scene. The last scene is what makes the book worth reading.
Will read book #2. I've heard it's better than book 1. We'll see.
