I was surprisingly disappointed. Even now, it seems like I should have loved it - great concept, well-written, nice plot points and twists. But I felt nothing for any of the characters, and that dropped it significantly in my opinion.
There was an originaly published version, and an author's preffered text which came out later. I've read both versions and found the author's prefferred text to be a bit overstuffed and bloated.

That makes sense but the problem is YA is more of a marketing tool than a genre
