BUT ... ugh, I couldn't take anymore of Edie and all the ridiculous stereotypes. Every person in that book is a stereotype. I just got old.

I'm not a fan of slow beginnings and I always have better luck with Aguirre's adult, opposed to young adult, works so perhaps I'll put this on hold until I know how the trilogy plays out.

"<br /><br />YES! That is me exactly Melissa! It's why I can't typically deal with revenge-based books, but I love Ann Aguirre so I wanted to give this one a try.
