And hooray for no love triangle, I'm glad that Ms. Walsh is able to write something different from the usual romances in YA! I'll be sure to be picking this one up soon!

What? Who would do such a thing?! Lol, I need to know what I'm biting into. <br /><br />I wasn't really interested in this one - I'm not a fan of the cover for some reason - but I might have to give it a try. I like that Walsh changes common YA cliches so that they become different.

(I say that, but my last read had one and I still loved it. :D) This sounds like a really great read and I can't wait to give it a shot after your review. And yes, the cover is pretty tempting. ;) Brilliant review, Jenny!
