W&W was iffy for me. The plot wasnt bad and the characters seemed interesting but from the very beginning, it seems like there is more hype over something intense that is suppose to happen versus anything happening. Perhaps it was the lack of backstory, I felt nothing for the characters and they seemed one dimensional. I'd say give it a try, its a quick read, let me know if you got more out of it than I did.

21. Twisted - Laurie Halse Anderson
