I'm finding it to be more and more common for YA series to end poorly. It seems like Lisa McMann, like a few other authors, got sloppy by the third book and stopped trying, because she knew that anyone who loved the first 2 books, would automatically want to read this one! Well, don't waste your time! I suggest reading some of the spoiler reviews instead.
The concept was there.. but it was the kind of book that I wanted to skim through to get to the point. This book has WAY too much "poor me.. my life is so hard.." And then abruptly at the very end of the book, there is a very anti-climactic ending.
Aside from the general sloppiness of this book, the words that the author chose to put in the mouths of some of her characters, were very strange. Janie and her friend next door (whose name escapes me at the moment) use "sheesh" way too many times, and "yadamean" is supposed to be their way of slang/sloppy speech for "you know what I mean." Where did these words come from? They never spoke like this in the first 2 books!
