You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.<br /><br /><a href="https://instabio.cc/katherinebeck" rel="nofollow">Instabio.cc</a><br /><a href="https://io-hope.me/community/profile/katherinebeck/" rel="nofollow">Information</a><br /><a href="https://ireallymissmymom.com/community/profile/katherinebeck/" rel="nofollow">Click Here</a><br /><a href="https://knicksweekly.com/community/profile/katherinebeck/" rel="nofollow">Visit Web</a>Dora Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256470715945080033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790946436399326490.post-56186917562185819332014-03-26T20:15:31.416-07:002014-03-26T20:15:31.416-07:00I read this book a few days ago.

On one hsnd, the syntax feels awkward and then present tense just feels out of place (though I mostly read and write in past tense, so that could be playing into my opinion). The author makes some weird slip ups, particularly involving race description. How in the world could Anne look at someone and know their specific ethnicity, even before they talk? In a way, Anne was a but Mary Sue but at the same time she was almost the inverse of a Mary Sue. I agree that the sexual stuff felt unecessary and too icky. I wasn't a big fan of the cliché mean girls, though I can understand given their PTS. I personally think Weibe has plans for Harper in future books, and if my hunch is right she's laid the ground work nicely. This book was truly a trip. It had me all over the place. It made me laugh so hard at points (amazing disses, dance battles, innuendo). It made me gross out at some points too. It made me go "awe!". At one point, it even made me tear up. Despite it's flaws (this book is definitely not perfect) the earth shattering plot makes up for the faults in full. It's crazy. This book starts off like a simple light teen drama, then jumps into a big heaping pile of insanity.Samantha Deharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596400826569200574noreply@blogger.com
