The 5th Wave

3.5 rounded up
This book started out very strong and at first I was certain it was going to be a 5 star novel, that the hype was warranted, then I realized the movie wasn't entirely to blame for the things I found annoying. It's decently well written but too long for my tastes and having to follow a character that left me indifferent just wasn't the best experience.
Will I come back to read the rest of the series? I might stop there for fear that my least favourite YA trope (love triangle) might veer into cringe inducing territory.
