While there were many aspects of this book that I liked eg he way Ms Snyder captured the youthfulness of her protagonists, I can't rate it any higher because it's written in the present tense.As I read, I felt like translating it all to the more normal past tense. Instead of feeling immediate and in the moment, it felt forced.I ploughed through to the end to see how she resolved the storyline, but couldn't help wishing the whole time that it had been written "normally".It turned what could have been a four or five star book to something I wouldn't recommend.
