![]() The murder investigation plot I guessed pretty quickly, before the end of book 1, so that was kind of cool to be right about. It got to the point where I was upset that they were figuring out the plot, because I wanted to keep spending time with these characters. There are many twists and turns with them that keep you guessing. I think the characters were very realistic and a lot of fun. So if anything, that's more of a compliment to the book because if I didn't like the book and the characters, I wouldn't have cared if I had to stop reading it. This only happened maybe 2-3 times and the soapiness never did ramp up. ![]() There were times when it was getting a bit soapy, and I almost thought that if the soapiness ramped up, I'd have to stop, which made me a little frustrated because I was really enjoying the book. Story: Overall it was a pretty good read. I loved her use of parentheses, (Especially the myriad of them.) (Seriously, it was awesome.) (I'm not kidding, it added a special snarkiness to it). And first person truly suited this novel. Goes to show how well Rowell differentiates her characters' internal voices. First person, multiple narrators always confuses me, but much less so with this novel than others I've read. Observations: I was surprised at how well I kept track of the changing narrators. I think if you enjoy Harry Potter and a good young adult story, you won't be disappointed. ![]()
