I really liked the concept of it, it was slow to get into but then I devoured the middle. The end dragged. I also think the end was disjointed it felt like the author just wanted to hurry up and finish the book. Totally called what was going to happen with the dad. I think there is lifetime movie of it...did you see it?

No, I didn't see it. Usually if I see a trailer for a movie that sounds good, I'll pick up the book to read it and just skip the movie.

5.8: (shoes - Nicole Miller) Burned by Sara Shepard15.4: (CR) Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook & The Bracelet by Roberta Gately
145/310
Enjoyed all of these, but does anyone else feel like Sara Shepard should've just stopped with book 8? Burned was better than the others in this set of 4, but I feel it's getting a little ridiculous now. The girls are constantly going, "OMG, do you think this random person we just met is A?"

I thought she should have stopped at #4, but I set aside the series at #6 for now until I have gotten all the weirdness out of the system of this series.
