I really wanted to like this book. The premise was good and some parts of it were strong. But I couldn't really get into the characters or the plot even. The constant flashbacks began to grate on my nerves after a while and, generally, didn't do much for me to really move the plot forward or change the pace. I thought the book could have focused more on the idea of the archive and the rules of that place then it did. So much of the book was focused on the main character whining about how her parents were behaving and bemoaning the reality of her life (for good reason, admittedly, but annoying nonetheless.) Again, I really thought this was a strong premise, but the book didn't deliver. I had such high hopes, too.
