Mixed feelings

I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the story is interesting with a realistic and well developed world created for the characters. However, I didn't like Alex. Her character is overbearing, short sighted, and abrasive. She constantly oversteps her boundaries as a friend and puts the other characters in dangerous situations. Alex's lack of social skills make her seem controlling and overprotective to the point that her life and needs weren't as important as others. There's a difference between being a strong woman and being short tempered and controlling. The other characters in the book are more likable and fleshed out. Even though I have misgivings about this book, I can see that there is room for potential.
