The Promise of Amazing - Robin Constantine

I'm definitely liking this one, though I could do without the language. It really adds nothing to the narration, and it just...bugs me. I don't know. I never hung out with people who cursed a lot in high school (or...at all, actually), so it's foreign to me to see exchanges that just have so much cursing. It doesn't feel real to me, though I understand that's just my perspective. Still, it stops me from wanting to recommend it to a younger audience of any kind.

 

I still think it's cute and adorable, and I want more. So far, so good--we'll have to see how this plays out and whether Wren and Grayson go down the unnecessarily drama-filled path like so many chick-lit stars before them.
