This book was moderately compelling, and I was going to go ahead and finish it since I was already a third of the way through, but after reviewing how much else I have in my TBR and how little time there is to read all of the content I want to read, I just realized, it's not worth it to plow through books that are only so-so. So, I'm abandoning this one. Though I think it would have really captured me at 18, it doesn't hold the same allure at 30.
