MY REVIEW -

Even though I rated this a three, it is a good three. This book did keep my interest, there were really no slow parts. I thought the idea was fresh and original. Don't we all like reading about spoiled rich kids? And I loved the main character - Casper..

The character development, in my opinion could have been better. I loved Casper and I thought her character was great, I did really get a feel for her personality. But that's it - all the other characters were just there, names on paper. I even referred to them as "The Stepford Wives", I felt that they were fake and robotic. I even went as far as thinking that maybe that was suppose to be a part of the storyline! ... but it wasn't.

Don't get me wrong - I did enjoy the story and would still love to read the rest of the series, it was just enough to keep me interested! And I do think a teenager would like this much more than I did. I was just looking for something more.

Plus - the parents were almost nonexistent in this story so that made it a good teen book, LOL

Soooo... All-in-all I would recommend this for a teenager (the book is pretty clean), but for an adult it is just OK.

Thank you Orangeberry Book Tours for sending me this ebook to read and review, I do hope I get the second book!
