" I stopped this book about three-fourths of the way through. It was rather redundant and extremely slow-paced. I got to a point where I didn't care about any of the characters as they were formulaic and one-dimensional. Victor is an alcoholic, Nadine has no backbone, both of their fathers are bullies, Kate is the good girl; Evangeline is selfish, and so on. The writing was at a middle-school level yet, it is not classified as a young adult novel. The pacing drags throughout, which left me feeling as if I were swimming in quicksand while reading. Most of the characters were one-dimensional with few to no redeeming qualities. Overall, it was a dull, tiresome story. "
