3.0

The book sets up an interesting story, but doesn’t really follow through in a satisfying way. The main character is interested in art, and has applied to art schools but that storyline isn’t concluded and we never learn where she is going to go for college. The part that annoyed me the most was that the main character was incredibly irritating and self-centered. When she is confronted by the other character, there’s a half-assed apology with no real substance and then the book ends. Overall, I would have loved to see a more complete arc for this character, and for the love story to be set up more throughout the story in order for it to be more satisfying.
