So I'm 34% of the way done with this book and I came back to look at the reviews again to see if I am the only person who cannot stand the main character. (I'm not.) The book has lots of good reviews but Sadie is such an unlikable person for me that I almost don't care about anything else. I'm going to keep reading for now because I am kind of intrigued by the story line and to see if Sadie redeems herself at all but I'm not certain I'll finish it.
So I forwarded through it just to try to figure out who actually did it, then I realized I didn't care. I definitely will not be reading more of this series.
