This is actually a reread and whilst reading this, it felt somehow very funny to me how I really forgot most of what the book is about. My only issue now on my reread is that on the beginning and middle, it was so slow paced whilst as we approached the chapters with "thirty" on it, it starts to wrapped the story, but the bone I pick with this book is that they put the climax on around the thirty plus chapters only to end it the way it ended. I mean it doesn't felt that was the climax but instead the climax was on the last chapter and the end of course was there too. As much as the beginning and middle part of this dragged WAY too much, the ending felt really rushed. Though initially I find the protagonist a bit obnoxiously condescending, I kinda understand that she's still a teenager and with her IQ, could really come off as that.
