Billie's Not So Secret Diary > Recent Status Updates

Needs more frequent descriptions of the mcs and other characters. The setting was good, but the inhabitants needed more.

hmmm... this one grabbed my right away!

did not enjoy this one. The plot jumped around, skipping how they got from here to there, as if trying to find the quickest way to end the story. The events happened within a week, and it was so far-fetched! Worse, the MC was a whiner, and all of the characters, even the adults, acted as if they were tweens.

Yeah, I guess this is listed for teens and YA, but it reads much younger!

Hard to get into... also feels like a middle grade book.

While I liked the telling 'recap' of the last book, I do not like telling of the story. It almost feels like 'childish' writing. I know I'm not that far in, and I hope there's more love for the story in the upcoming pages. Right now it feels forced, hurried, and if it had to get published and this was good enough.

I think I'm around halfway through, but there is nothing going on. It goes around and around with pointless dialogue and narration like a textbook. I'm skipping to the end!
