ORIGINAL REVIEW

DNF'd at 34%

Here's the thing: I LOVE YA! I love it. I'm passionate about YA books. But this one makes me feel like maybe, at 27 years old, I'm growing out of it. Or maybe this just reaffirms why I can't stand contemporary YA. I can't handle the angsty teenage crap. Reading about their dinner together and everything leading up to it made me want to bang my head against a wall.

The biggest question I have is whether the romance was necessary. It felt so stupid to me! Okay, they find a dead body and two seconds later she's all, "OMG he touched me and he needs my help and oooooh I'm so excited!!!1!" Really?

I'm so sorry to all my friends who loved this book. I love YA and I love horror and this book just made me hate life for the two days I attempted to read it.
