I really wanted to like this book. The premise was unique, the dystopian genre is fantastic, and it has a beautiful cover. So it should have been awesome.

Sadly, I was only left frustrated by the usual insta-love triangle scenario and confusing descriptions. I didn't feel attached or connected to either of the love interests so the romance certainly didn't reel me in. The weaving descriptions were strange and almost ridiculous. During the climactic ending I found myself visualizing the main character shooting spidey-webs from her wrists to save herself and her two boy toys. This high suspense cliff-hanger ending only left me laughing at the overall bizarreness.
