The story concept itself was interesting and I liked that it was five different stories being told. That said, I didn't care at all about two of the characters, two I found interesting but didn't actually like, and one I actually felt something for. 

The chapters were short so it made for an easy read. In general, it wasn't a bad book, but I wouldn't call it good either.
