I liked a lot of this book and there were some bits that I just didn't quite get.
I liked that she was so hell bent on getting justice for her friends and all the other girls. I liked the banter she had going with Terry. I kinda liked the relationship with Ryan, though it seemed to appear out of nowhere after the funeral scene (or maybe I just missed a bit). And though it's wrong of me to like it, the scene with the swim team practise--I thought the author portrayed that really well.
I wasn't so keen on the way she acted with the FSL, I know there was a reasoning behind her behaviour but it did seem to get their attention for the right reasons in the end. Her crazy talking to Beth scenes...I know she's super torn up over her friends death but it's a little too much for me.
I'm just kinda torn over this book because it wasn't entirely comfortable reading at times, knowing what the guys were up to and what she was planning to let happen. But in the end justice prevailed and she got the guy.

We learn that finch is failing school and violet lost her sister, since then she has become withdrawn from society, she does have friends but has lost interest in doing anything with them.
Finch starts to take an interest in violet, he asks her to be his partner in a class project and sings to her in an Instagram post to get her to talk to him. This works and they meet up to talk. This starts the beginning of a friendship between the pair, which of course turns to romance.
I quite enjoyed the movie. it's not your typical romance movie, both characters are vulnerable and trying to save each other. I felt the characters worked very well together, but I did find it disappointing that we don't know much about finch the way we do about violet.

While there are a couple of things that kind of threw me off (I'm talking to you crazy skull scene) I thoroughly enjoyed the film as a whole. I liked that they included some of the story that took place on Krypton and gave some humanity (yes I see the irony of "humanity") to Supes parents and people as a whole. Even Zod, who until now has only been portrayed (though done so with excellence) as a cold, mostly heartless soldier of fortune.
The biggest hiccup for me was the final climax. That's not how Superman does things. Plain and simple, he doesn't kill for any reason. He always finds another way.
I do think that this is a great movie and I have viewed it several times, It made me feel things for characters that until now were completely tertiary or non existent and that alone deserves praise.
