I wanted to love this story but I just could not. It was unrealistic, uncomfortable at times, and overall confusing.

I honestly hated Frey. Being 17 is tough I get that, but the complete self centered ideas and inability to comprehend anything going on with anyone else was irritating. I wish we had gotten more of the character development in their real life, instead of just in the video game. I liked Greta's character, but she felt very 2-D to me, and her asexuality seemed like an afterthought to make her character more well rounded. A dual POV would have made this book so much more fun. The rest of the characters were either complete stereotypes or entirely forgettable. 

I would not recommend this novel.
