| I was 1/4 in and almost gave up on this one. The first part of the book moves at a snails pace and the main character becomes increasingly annoying. However, I decided to stick with it a little longer and then it got interesting. Overall, I enjoyed t ...more | |

answered a question about
The New Couple in 5B:
