"Not a fan. Didn't like Jamie, didn't like Cate, everyone else is meh. Not much happens in the book until the end and then the twist was something I figured out at the beginning so I didn't even have that to enjoy. Also why did Cate tell it in a fairy tale? So odd. Definitely could've been shorter--just kept putting off meeting up with Cate to find out the truth. <spoiler>Personal amusing moment: He early on says how him making a friend made his adoptive parents think he wasn't like Norman Bates, and just before reading that I was thinking how his whole amnesia thing was a lot like the Norman Bates in the Bates Motel TV Show. So if you enjoyed this book or want to see that plot done more thoroughly (and in my opinion better) check it out.</spoiler>"
