I don't think this is a book that I would bother even looking at because of the love triangle. I have yet to come across a love triangle that's well written, so I usually tend to stay away from them. The characters definitely don't sound like the kind that I like in my books.<br />Great honest review, Jenny!

I hear you about angst and drama. I think that is why I just read a lot of contemporary I don't like getting all wound up in my reading and then if it doesn't have a good solid purpose well it is even worse and that sounds like that is the case with this one!

I love it when I brace myself for the torture of a love triangle and then it turns out I needn't have feared. But I DREAD drama, I really do, it's mostly why I avoid contemporary in the first place.
