Hello everyone! 

 

Just I rode off my Anna and the French Kiss high feely happy as a clam--and then I slammed right into Pretenders. And the high is gone. It was terrible. It was awful. It was pretty much every bad adjective I could possibly think of. (There was a friggin' Monster High reference in it! "Audri was hotter than Ghoulia from Monster High." ARE YOU KIDDING--referencing your OWN book like that?) 

 

And now I REALLY need something good. I don't want to be disappointed. But I don't really have a lot to work with.

 

The above books are what I have here at school with me. Since I just finished a NetGalley book, and I switch off between reading what I want and reading for the publisher, I'm not including those books in those list. Please, just recommend me something from here. I'll check back probably in an hour or so. (Not a lot of time, but hey, I really want to start reading, hahah.)

 

(PS, I am currently leaning towards The Promise of Amazing, but one of my best friends here just read it right after Anna and she said it wasn't nearly as good. So... I'm scared.)
