Opinion:
This book was okay. It was the author's first attempt at writing young adult fiction and the writing showed her inexperience. The premise of the story was good, but the plot could use some doctoring. Parts of this book were unrealistic and characters reacted to events differently than what normally would be expected. Despite this, I could tell that Karis was a good person even though she got into all kinds of shenanigans, which is what the author wanted to achieve. There were even some funny moments that made me laugh. All in all, a good read that could have been better with some more TLC.
