Good Novel

I can't decide between rating this book 3.5/5 stars or 4/5 stars so I just decided to round up since there was more that I liked about the book than disliked. As far as dislikes go, I didn't care for the instant cliché romance and feel that it could have been better developed. I also felt as though the ending was a bit rushed. The writing of the novel was pretty basic, which is unfortunate because the main plot of the book itself seems to be well thought out with a lot of potential. The things I liked about the book is the main plot ofc but also the plot twists that appeared later in the novel. I also liked the character dynamic and the strong female lead character. Overall I just wish the story was flushed out more because, as far as plot and the romance sub-plot goes, it had the potential to be better than a lot of currently overhyped YA novels.
