Usually in a review I say something along the lines of "this book could have been 100 pages shorter" but that was definitely not the case. I loved the fast pace, but I desperately wanted more information about everything:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-43384810747840538422012-05-29T15:56:03.329-04:002012-05-29T15:56:03.329-04:00Aww, I'm sorry you didn't like this one, A...Aww, I'm sorry you didn't like this one, Ashley!

It sucks the writing was a bit sparse though--it always sucks when it's got positional but falls on something like that.

While I like the idea of this one, something about it turned me off (maybe it's the author's name...poor thing. Please tell me it's a pseudonym.).

In addition to reviewing YA books, do you also write your own YA novels? Thanks.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.com
