Reviews

[Kristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a particularly exciting read but not as predictable as it could have been. A little confusing with so many teen girl characters with boyfriend issues and I wonder is that all teen girls think about? I'm sure I didn't when I was a teenager!

I don't know. I'm into this kind of books, though the book isn't a bestseller and really short, it was okay for me.
