Sorry about that, but this style of writing is simply not for me. Everyone else seems enamoured but apparently either I am incredibly old fashioned and out of it, or older than the target audience and more demanding of a cohesive, non-cobbled-together format. I do admit however that for those who ...
This is the fourth (and as far, as I know, final) Ashbury/Brookfield novel. It can be read completely independently of the others, but as many of the characters in this book were introduced in previous books in the series, it may be more enjoyable if you've read at least Finding Cassie Crazy and/or ...
I know I'm the odd one out here. There was enough to be engaging here, in stuttering bursts - but I felt it was desperately screaming out for an unshrinking editor. There is definitely the bones of an absolutely glorious 300-page three (or mmmaybe four)-points-of-view book somewhere in this dragging...
Why I Read It: Next in a series. I'm all caught up in this series now. Yay!! I should probably start this review by clarifying that I'm not a connoisseur of gothic fiction.

Dressing differently, speaking more intelligently, trying their hardest to be interestin...

The story dragged a bit in the middle where the characters had long chunks of text dedicated to their POV. I feel the story was at its best when the story was divded up a b...
Moriarty is amazing. On the surface, the Ashbury/Brookfield books epistolary comedies about teens in high school meeting, crushing, and breaking up. Then there's also very realistic layer about the stress of final years, and college applications, and family problems and such. And in this one, the...
At first I thought this was going be supernatural and was somewhat disappointed*. But I should have trusted Moriarty to give us a funny book which has a lot more to think about it than it initially seems to. Sequel to The Year of Secret Assignments and so on. [Nov. 2010]* not because I have a proble...
