I didn't care at all for the writing style and the first person narrative. The bit I read was all forced quirkiness and contrived angst. I'm not going to try to finish.
Review also posted on TotalTeenFictionI discovered this book purely by chance whilst browsing my library's e-book catalogue. It sounded like my kind of book so I added it to my to-read list. Whilst a lot of people have shelved this book as a dystopian/post-apocalyptic book on Goodreads, it's really ...
Daisy is being shipped to England to live with an aunt and four cousins she’s never met because her “wicked” step-mother convinced Daisy’s father it was the best thing for her. While she isn’t thrilled with the new arrangement, as soon as she arrives, Daisy feels an overwhelming since of belonging ...
There are some major award-winning books I've read and shrugged off, and then there are award winners that absolutely knock me off my feet and throw me into fits of screaming delirious praise of just how GREAT they are. This book fits into the latter category, and to say more would spoil a great rea...
The world has gone mad... What is there to add more?While the book was a bit overly simplistic, there was something endearing about it. The 4 stars is for the unorthodox punctuation.

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.I don’t know exactly what I was expecting with this book, but it took me way off the track. I suppose I thought this would be an Angst-y Teen book, and it is that, filled with prerequisite (though not, in the book’s defense, of an in-your-face sort) Eating Disorders and Mean Step-Pa...
I have no idea what drew my interest to this book in the first place. Maybe it was the idea of the end of the world I happen to read quite often these days or something else. But it doesn't matter.
