Plus the romance, yeah Brady was absolutely using Connor to get her parents to notice her. I totally agree with your decision to stay away from this one.Alexia Boesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084749931224225112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121498189481645138.post-82686325934735138332014-01-23T18:37:57.987-08:002014-01-23T18:37:57.987-08:00The romance AND character development are big make...The romance AND character development are big make or break books for me as well as the ending. I feel like since you addressed two of those as being "not for you" means that I should stay away from this book for right now. Like I said, romance is a big one for me, and the fact that you said that Brady was using Connor just to get her parents to notice her pisses me off. That's just wrong. <br /><br />Anyway, lovely review! <br /><br />T from <a href="http://yabookqueens.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">YA Book Queens</a> (:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684853382735175718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121498189481645138.post-66473124288193754752014-01-23T15:52:19.439-08:002014-01-23T15:52:19.439-08:00I was really bummed about this one.

I'm reading like a million books at once so hopefully whatever book I finish next will be better.Alexia Boesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084749931224225112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121498189481645138.post-86999719067614134212014-01-23T15:46:31.850-08:002014-01-23T15:46:31.850-08:00Ish when I read a book the last thing I want is fo...Ish when I read a book the last thing I want is for it to be like pulling teeth. I've had that done and it's not fun haha. Slow paced contemps are usually a no-no for me overall. I hope the next one is better for you!Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.com
