But if it's essentially the same book with different details, it's probably not going to be for us either.

I agree that, as a whole, her male characters are definitely more complex and more likable.<br /><br /><a href="http://jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jen @ YA Romantics</a><br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.com
