Though it is kind of cool that Janie doesn't seem so cookie cutter but yeah, she probably would have gotten on my nerves too. Glad the book took a turn for the better. <br /><br />I think I will likely skip this one now that I've read your review. The cover is super fun, and I was curious about it, but I don't want to meet someone you'd be BFs with because I'm your ONLY BF! ;PMissie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
