I kept reading, even though I should have given up on this book. Jen, the protagonist, is such an awful, immature, loudmouthed, mean, shallow person, I had a hard time feeling any sympathy or compassion for her. Really, this is an exercise in how NOT to act. I was hoping to see great redemption of character, but I was disappointed to see it was minimal.
