review 1: I was born to love this book: I knit, read cyberpunk and relish descriptive immersive novels. BUT the authors writing felt so ... Young, and not that I don't love YA - I devoured Hunger Games for goodness sakes - but there was a level of shallowness (yes, I know it's a story about fashion sex and consumerism) that kept insulting me every time I tried to make it to the next chapter.
