Review Detail

Reader reviewed by KL

I had a lot of high hopes for this book/series, but they haven't panned out. I have to admit that I was kind of hoping for a gossip girl- like book, but this is a pale imitation. For one, I never really get into the scene. It feels like my old Barbie Townhouse where you didn't get much in the way of furniture, but walls had pictures of furniture on them-all paper, not substance. The main characters seem too cliched and the whole plot seems too predicatable & too convenient. The only part that felt real to me was the main character purposely wearing a hole-y cashmere sweater because that's what girls where she lived did-because that was authentic. The rest of the book left me cold.
