Glad to know I wasn't the only one who didn't like the characters much :)<br /><br />Angie, thank you! I try very hard to be balanced, but don't always achieve it.<br /><br />Brenda, I might not have finished it if it wasn't for the Traveling ARC Tour. Then again, I had a hard time putting it down, so maybe I would have anyway!<br /><br />Amused, I'm sure it was quite realistic in its swearing, but it sure starts to bother me after the first 50 in half as many pages :) I'd like to know what teens think of it too!melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-12629427845087999992010-09-23T20:29:40.380-07:002010-09-23T20:29:40.380-07:00I this this cover would appeal to a lot of teenage...I this this cover would appeal to a lot of teenagers so I am intrigued to see how it would appeal to my cousin but the f-bombs, not a fan (but they probably are!) ;)Amusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657337249497691366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-19640034642156961822010-09-23T13:49:39.973-07:002010-09-23T13:49:39.973-07:00I tried reading this one and hated it, so I didn&#...I tried reading this one and hated it, so I didn't finish.

I get the impression I would agree wholeheartedly with yours.

I think Keplinger's a decent writer, but I couldn't stand most of her characters and the constant profanity and such casual talk about teenagers having sex just drove me nuts! Even still, like you, I couldn't look away from the disasters I knew were coming. <br /><br />Thanks for the review. I need to get mine written ...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-86249739397655782372010-09-23T07:54:06.344-07:002010-09-23T07:54:06.344-07:00I'm so curious about this book.
