This book wasn't bad. It took a weird turn at the end, but overall the book wasn't bad. It took me awhile to get through it because I was struggling getting it initially. However, this book was poorly edited because I found several problems with this book.

I'm way behind on my Reading Challenge, or maybe now right on track. I have to get reading. So if you'll excuse me...
