I was extremely excited for this book, and I'm really upset that it didn't live up to the hype or my expectations. 

This book had a lot of potential with the concept but the characters felt very flat or artificial. The stories were different yet it was always the same concept, regret. 

Also the rules were repeated so often, that it felt like that was half of the book. I found it to be very boring most of the time, and whenever it got exciting, it ended within 1-3 pages.
