did not like it

How about no stars? Is that a legitimate option. This one is pretty much horrible. I didn't really expect much for it. I'm doing it for my yearly I force myself to read an awful series just to see how much I can test my sanity challenge. That and I like to dissect these horrible books so that I have an idea what I'm getting into. To see full review click on one of the following links:

1.04% "This is the sort of shit that annoys me about this book and other YA books. Guys randomly buying you things-life altering things- and expect you to just accept them. Yes, a house is nice. But...you know what, the Bella-ites will probably have no problem with this."

5.64% "Puke. Puke. Puke. This book seriously makes me sick. If someone naive actually believed that this was how the real world was well....I have no idea how I'm going to finish it let alone get to the halfway mark today."

7.31% "That was lame, Kelsey, really lame. You know, if you just didn't want to drink you could've said no thank you. No need to go all Barney the Dinosaur on their asses."

16.08% "Wasn't there a line in Twilight about one of those idiots being heroin to the other. Well, this book has almost the same line except it involves Ritalin."

18.79% "Man, this is lame. I really think Houck wrote this planning to ride Stephenie Meyer's coattails. It's sort of painful to be honest."

25.26% "I can't even give this book the good old self published excuse here. Houck had access to a professional editor here who should've called her out on the bull shit. In fact, I think the first book is better written and that's saying a lot."

25.68% "Um, not all Indians who live in America still do arranged marriages. In fact, implying that is sort of offensive."

29.23% "Oh, I forgot this is supposed to be a "clean" romance. Well, people still sleep together and, you know, you could just tastefully fade to black and it would be more realistic than this."

53.65% "Let's start off the second half of the book how anyone and their momma can climb Mount Everest. Forget the fact it takes many of the best mountaineers years and years to do such a feat. If your name is Kelsey....well, you're special."
