eh-- ended up being as twisted as it sounds, but not as dark (not sure if that is a good or bad thing)...

Super interesting-- got a little drawn out and predictable by the end. But the storyline was great.

Kind of dumb-- not even a chick flick; a total teen flick.

Cute book about friendship. Was a thick book, surprised it didn't drag on at times. Would recommend for a vacation/beach read.

Horrible, can't believe I wasted a credit on this. Although, perhaps I shouldn't post that until I can get rid of it...?

Rumor has it this book is turning into a movie in Europe. Which means it'll head our way months later. Can't wait to see it.

Loved. This. Book. So fun to read. Didn't really know what it was about as I started it, quickly learned it was a reality TV show setting. New take on reads, my first book like that. Interesting the dynamic it took on all of its characters. Would highly recommend; easy read.

Fine. Total chick-flick book though. This was one of those, "I'm just starting to get into reading" reads that you can fly through. It's not til reading a dozen or so books like this that you figure out they are all the same and predictable in nature.

Passed around to my group of friends while on vacation in the mountains. All 4 of us read it within a weeks time. Easy read. Interesting twists to the plot that you wouldn't expect. Makes you feel all sorts of ranges on emotions. Really enjoyed.

Ordered this book on accident when trying to get a different title "Proof of Heaven". Decided to give it a go as it was on my bookshelf. Interesting and different story. Liked; didn't love.
