My Rating: 4/5
I received this book for review from Hardie Grant Egmont.
This is not the type of book that I expected to like as much as I did. The plot although fast paced and interesting was far from unique and pretty predictable.
What saves this book though is the characters. They all had strong personalities. The protagonist Paige was immature and naive but never in a negative way.
The book had a very Australian feel about it which I loved. The ending seemed a little too perfect but I liked it anyway.
