My Take: 6.5 out of 10 (scale here)
This book was...fine. I picked it up because the book I really wanted by the same author was too expensive and this one looked good. For me, it was one of those books where the plot was unique and intriguing, but it just didn't quite live up to its potential. The whole novel takes place in a 24-hour span, which was cool and it worked, but I wanted more from this book than the author was prepared to give, apparently. The characters were developed, the writing style was fine, the conflict was plausible, which is where I get my 6.5, but there just wasn't enough in the plot for me to feel really happy with it. And the ending was very abrupt.
I will give it to some of my girls at school, and I'm sure they will read it and love it. It has just enough sappy-ness to make them happy :)
