When I first picked up this book, I wasn't to sure what to think. Sure, the back sounded great but the first page or two sounded kinda boring. But I thought, hey, what do I have to lose? I can return it. So I bought it and it turns out, it was an awesome book. I even came back and bought the second one. They start out boring, but they get exciting. Sure, they may not be like regular teen life...But they are still dramatic.
