I've bought them, been excited to read them and then another author or book has come along and distracted me.īut don't worry, this happens to me a lot. This is the first time I've sat down and read a Meg Cabot novel. I gave it 3 stars for the writing, but everything else was just subpar. The only thing that saved the book was Meg Cabot's writing, which allowed me to quickly become immersed in the story. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but the constant shallowness and repetition really disappointed me. Aside from this, Jack delivered some other pretty cringe-worthy lines that I couldn't help but roll my eyes at. I don't like when people pit girls against one another and that's what this line is meant to do. Maybe its just me, but I think this mindset is so old and cliche.

All he does is repeatedly state how different she is from other girls because she ate dessert. I also became quickly irritated with Jack's interest in Lou. This constant critic of him and his past partners was what really made me angry, especially since one of her best friends was one of the people she was indirectly criticizing. Them because they aren't as smart as her. If that wasn't bad enough, she also bashes other women and mocks Jack for having any interest in I get that this was part of their love-hate relationship but it was so repetitive and cold that it just seemed plain rude rather than romantic. The entire book is basically Lou repeatedly berating Jack for things that either are not even his fault or none of her business. I usually love Meg Cabot’s writing, but I really didn't like the characters in this story.
