This book was really cool. I like how to title was made. It is very bright, and I like that. I also like the shadows and how the different colors merged together. The synopsis was really good. It clearly explained what the book was about, which I looooooved. The book was clearly well written, because as soon as you opened the book, you were sucked into the story. The characters were so easily lovable. All the characters were also written really well, which I absolutely adored. It was a fast read, which got me out of a particularly bad reading slump. This is a fast paced book, which is really good. I would totally recommend this book to those who need a quick, fun book to read to get out of a reading slump.
