I'm so annoyed. The fifth book that is leaving me with this depressing question: Have I lost the ability to pick up a good book? The plots usually sound, if not ingenious, at least intriguing enough to pick up. These books on my currently reading list are inane fluff that can't seem to properly lasso a great dialogue or flowing action. I haven't become so disgusted by any of them enough to relegate them to the "probably won't finish" shelf, but I'm fast approaching that threshold. A book that might have been cute if things flowed better and the author didn't have this slow descent to "pure romance" book. The friendships could have been a great story, and instead they're explained in inconsequetial asides. GRrr...I need a good book. Dix, one of the friends, would have been a great story. Unfortunately, the book didn't do anything well, so Dix remained on the periphery. All in all this book was wasted effort. ( )

Cute - Like a better version of "Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him". ( )
