Loved this book! It seems a few readers here have left some negative comments regarding the character's, well, character. I enjoyed the fact that the characters aren't perfect and have flaws, just like real people. Maybe readers looking for the "Mary Sue" type of character should look for the cookie cutter, happy ending type of books and avoid books like this that are a little darker and complex. Personally, I am looking forward to the second and third books in this series.
