Antisocial by Heidi Cullinan

I don't know what happened. This book started off so good. It was so cute. I was going around telling people how much I love this book.

Then we get halfway into the story and I was like I can't anymore. I don't know what just happened. I'm so over this book. I feel like two different people wrote this book.
