Read in October, 2010

Ever one-ups herself in this one, proving to be the dumbest fictional character of all time.

How anyone can read this and walk away happy is beyond me. Seriously, the girl is dumb, the plot limp, the characters even more haphazard than they were the first time around. It's the literary equivalent of smacking your head into a brick wall over and over again. Although, I think that would ultimately be more enjoyable and less damaging.

I can't even count how many times I was trying to mentally will the characters into being interesting and smart, but they never failed to disappoint. This is one of the worst books I've ever read....and I've read all four installments of the Twilight Saga.

Stephenie Meyer really likes it when her characters shudder....do you know what Alyson Noel likes her characters to do? Shrug. A LOT. Even when they're not "shrugging", they're "lifting their shoulders".

Someone please buy Alyson Noel a dictionary, a thesaurus, and perhaps a book on human body language. She would benefit.

Catherine Oh, and Alsyon also likes her characters to bite down/purse their lips! Ugh I almost threw my book at the wall because that certain action showed up so many times. -.-

Yeah, that was the other one. It bothered me, but for some reason, all the shrugging bothered me more, haha. If real people had the mannerisms of Noel characters, they'd all look like they suffered from a plethora of nervous tics.

emilie.❤ I'm so glad someone else noticed that everyone shrugs and presses their lips together way too much! I've only read the first book, but it was DREADFUL. I counted, and they shrug a grand total of 84 times, and Ever presses her lips 36 times. They squint and roll their eyes a lot too. -_-
