Same for me. It was a gift and I was like WHY?!? but still red the first one. I never struggled that much with a book honestly. Is SO BAD the writting, the characters, the situations...everything is bad.
I wasn't willing to pay to know what's next but I never stopped a book series after this one. I downloaded book 2 & 3 but could not read past book 2. I already have so little time to read so I don't want to lose it by reading this shitty book.
