I found the FMC entitled, juvenile, and hard to root for. The plot dragged and it was hard to see what the arc was. The last 10% introduced and wrapped up about a dozen different points that could've been used earlier on to make the book far more dynamic and enjoyable. Too many half-baked, borrowed themes that just never added anything but confusion (Romeo and Juliet AND Beauty and the Beast ...) I should have DNFd this but I kept hoping for some character redemption.
