Nothing Too Amazing

This book wasn't bad, but it wasn't one of my favorites either. It was a little predictable, and in fact reminded me of the movie "Sweet Home Alabama". As I started to read the book, it was hard for me to follow who everyone was and how they were all connected. It was one of those books that you don't need to read every word or get really into it, to still understand the basic storyline. Other than that, the main character, Ruby, was appealing to me. She was strong and glamorous, she had her whole life together and depended on her on only her. I love characters like this, they're like role models. The thing about this book that keeps you reading is that the end of every chapter reveals a little bit more about Ruby's past. You can't stop yourself from going on. In a way it was like a love story and a mystery combined. The main thing I didn't like about this book was how it ended. It just seemed like it was all wrapped up so quickly. Of course the girl ended up with her first love, and everyone lived happily ever after but I could have guessed that from just reading the back cover. It was a cute story but nothing incredible. - K.R

better than i would have expected

I was pleasantly surprised. This wasn't nearly as fluffy as I thought it would be. The writer has a lyrical way with words, and I will keep an eye out for her next book.
