I am a person that does not care if characters are likable or relatable; they just have to be good (as in written well.) These characters didn't fulfill my requirement, so that is where my dislike for them appeared. I, personally, hated the repetition of Cat describing the characters. "Philip, the perfect one, the valedictorian, the star, etc." I believe this description is said about three times.

Ma'am, this book is only about 120 pages long and could be shorter without the constant reminders. This was said two pages ago. I didn't forget.

I agree that the ending was rushed. I thought something was up with it when it was $5 at B&N. I think if this was a video game, I may have liked it. I imagined it as a game similar to Until Dawn or The Quarry, and that helped me get through it along with the fact that it is so short.
