First and foremost, Ridley bothered me. She never knew why she was doing anything, never questioned anything, and never followed her gut instinct - those red flag waving right in front of your face type feelings. She got involved with crazy people, slept around a little bit, and escaped from all the mayhem unscathed. I wanted to jump into the story and tell her to wake up!

Another thing that was troublesome was Ridley's tone. She'd always say things like, "I know what your thinking..." or "If you're anything like me..." Unger made it seem like Ridley was trying to talk to me as if she knew me. Well, 1) you don't know what I'm thinking and 2) no, I am nothing like you. This was frustrating! The plot was decent, but I can honestly say that I had an idea for how things would unfold about 100 pages in (so, less than one-third into the novel). I'm not the most astute as far as piecing mysteries together goes, so I think that this one was just a bit too obvious. The cast of characters was limited making it a feasible task to guess what was going on. One last Ridley annoyance - she'd try to sound emotionally aware and wise saying that she does not believe in regrets or mistakes, etc. I wanted to tell her that whether she believed in them or not (mistakes especially), she was making them all over the place.
