Ugh. I mean, in some ways I really liked this book. The world was fun and the characters were decent and it was fast and intriguing. But ugh! The ending was so disappointing.

Ok, in some ways it was a good ending because, kind of, she got everything she wanted. At least that was the implication. But it wasn't what I wanted at all. As the mystery was coming together I started fearing certain things, I was really excited to see her pull all the pieces together from both choices and make a new future - to tell people about what she'd learned and stop something awful from happening. It was going to be so gratifying. But that whole idea about not being able to change the future was lame. Because telling people about Bobby and Duke and Poison would have changed the future. And it could have made it a lot better - not just worse. And because of that, because I trusted her patents to be able to take that information and do something good with it, her reasoning seemed like a cop out.

And even though she was theoretically going to get her memories of Trevor back, even though she was still going to have the chance to meet him - it was disappointing. Because it wasn't actually real and he didn't get to have those memories if her.

And she didn't tell Duke that he had to make Ray fix Trevor! I would have done that too.

I did like how strong the plot was and how both paths complimented each other so well. That was surprising and enjoyable.

And it's kind of the perfect antidote to a love triangle because you get to experience her relationship with both guys. And for a whole I liked them both a lot and was interested to see how she'd choose. Then I... I liked Trevor more. He has some really great moments at the end and his reversal is kind of perfect.

Maybe eventually I'll reconcile myself to the ending because in a lot of ways it makes sense. But for now this is still one of those books where I liked pretty much the whole book then the ending spoiled it for me.
