DNF @ 100 pages. I totally understand how many other readers would fall for this book. It's full of emotion, great characterization, and an interesting plot, but there were so many things about it that I just can't stand. First of all, I hated Jude. From the very beginning, I had a bad feeling about her. She's basic, mean, and always revealing an envious side to her personality. Both twins were rather jealous of the other, but Jude practically radiated waves of envy. To me, it just seemed that Jude was this extremely petty and overreactive teenager who kissed guys as a hobby. On the other hand, I loved Noah. He was so dedicated to the artwork he created, and when he was rejected by CSA, I was absolutely devastated. His father expected him to be a "man" and not have to be protected by his sister, but I loved him just the way he was. Overall, my biggest problem was the distracting metaphorical language. Honestly, I don't want to read about hornets or different-colored barf for half a chapter. Can't we just get on with the plot? My patience with Jude and the entire story was just dwindling as the chapters dragged on. I think that if I continued, the book may have improved a lot for me, and my thoughts could've been different, but it was just too late. I really was disappointed.
