Helpful Score: 2

I have to say that after all the good reviews I'd read here and on Amazon that I'm disappointed in the book. It seemed like the book was edited in a hurry (there were noticeable errors in the first couple of chapters - at one point it switched from 3rd person to 1st person) and I just really wasn't impressed with the writing, either.

It finally dawned on me what I disliked so much about this book - there was a lot of "telling" rather than "showing". I was told what Sadie liked, didn't like, how she or the people around her acted using words like "vehemently" or "gushed"... but I was never shown the actions. I guess I just really wasn't impressed with the caliber of the writing.

I think that the book could have made up for that if the plot was quicker, but it progressed really slowly and I gave up.
