I'd be baffled if she were still alive, you know, had any life threatening situations been bestowed upon her. She's useless, and honestly too stupid to live.

She just mopes all day, contemplating turning herself into the government and basically giving up on life. Unfortunately, Zoe doesn't use her special abilities for good, or really at all. Each person undergoing glitches has a secret power, Zoe's being telekinesis (not a spoiler, you find that out in the first chapter).

But, like any other female lead in YA literature (if you could even call books of this sort literature), Zoe has to stand out and be special, right? As the book starts, Zoe is undergoing a glitch - a defect in her system that allows her to display emotion when most of the population - for some reason - can't. She's dull, uninteresting, whiny, and completely and totally reliant on Adrien. If you're looking for a strong, self reliant female character in Glitch, I can assure you you won't find one in Zoe. Mary Sues and Gary Stus everywhere, my friends! First, let's analyze the main character, Zoe. Those four categories are: the characters, the relationships, the writing, and the plot/world-building. I'll be splitting my review of Glitch into four categories, and analyze each one. Unfortunately, I truly found nothing likable or redeemable in this book. When reading a book, however horrible that book might be, I do try to find something even slightly redeemable, that could save the book from falling into my one-star abyss. Warning: Possible spoilers (but do you really want to read this?)
