I started it today. I initially had some formatting problems on my Kindle Fire. For those who have the same problem, I switched to a size 3 font and Georgia for the font itself. Sometimes just changing the font works.Aside from that, this is a very enjoyable novel! It's fast paced and entertaining, and I love the personalities of the three girls involved. Normally having 3 POV would actually make me struggle, but the voices are distinct enough to make it work.
So far it's a light read that's a lot of fun. I'm already planning on reading the next two and I'm only at 46%.

It's pretty light. Kind of a kick back and enjoy it book rather than a cerebral book.

Your Fab-5 MODS have tabulated this months picks, put their heads together to figure out how to balance out the sub-sub-genres and age groups, and
arm-wrestled to pick a winneragreed on a MOD PICK for September. This month we'll be reading Comes the Night by author Norah Wilson. This book is rated Young Adult."How far would you go to escape your own personal teenage hell? Would you run away, break away from everything you know—even your own body?
Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock could not be more different, yet they all have something in common—deep and soul-searing pain. They are also all students at Streep Academy, a boarding school just one step away from juvie, where they've come to complete high school. The three have been relegated to Harvell House, the residence reserved for the hardest cases, the so-called Rejects from Reject Row.
In the forbidden attic of the old Victorian house-turned-residence, the girls discover the diary of Connie Harvell, a young woman who was confined and abused there some 50 years ago. In the end, Connie’s attic prison couldn't hold her—not completely. She found a way out. At least a dark part of her did. And after reading her diary, the girls discover they can escape at will too. A terrifying, thrilling flight from their bodies and their troubles.
But God help them, their pain isn't all they leave behind when they join with the night.
And God help anyone who’s wronged them..."
