This wasn't the best book I've read, but not the worst either. It did seem to drag in spots and I felt like every other page I was reading about a kid on a hoverboard. It got a bit repetitive. I didn't find myself drawn to any of the characters or even particularly liking any of them/caring what happened to them. The book has an interesting concept, but for me it didn't really get interesting until the “truth about being pretty” was revealed to Tally. That being said, since I already own the next two books, I'll read those. Otherwise, I wouldn't read them.
