The book just didn't work for me.

I'm sorry it did you. Was it just the characters or the plot you didn't like? If it was the plot, I imagine it's going to pick up as the series continues. Book #2 was a sort of bridge between #1 and the next two installments.<br /><br />Strong friendships in books live forever! ;)Mara A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00484574814523220378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762123704887495795.post-52293319284793791232014-05-23T17:36:07.886-07:002014-05-23T17:36:07.886-07:00Nice picks!
