review 1: I liked this book better than the first one. For one thing the sappiness was toned down, and the characters felt more natural. There were still things that didn't quite feel right with the setting, but much less than with the first. The dialogue was fun and so were the characters. I really enjoyed it quite a bit. There were some melodramatic moments, and a few scenes felt a little forced, but the whole was pretty fun. I am definitely reading the next one.
review 2: I couldn't really get into the story, which really disappointed me. There was so much promise to the plot, and it seemed to just exist on the surface. I would just begin to feel that I was about to get into some deeper thoughts, and a few pages later, the writing would fluff right back up aga... morein. I mainly stayed with the book because of the characters I'd come to love in book one.What I didn't like:The mothers that matchmake like crazy....literallyThe girls who wear their hearts on their sleeve, so everyone knows who they care forThe young women who tease others about the state of their hearts...a pet peeve of mine in real life, which can be very hurtfulThe ending up in jail way too many times, and the flippancy with which everyone regards the lawWhat I liked:Katherine coming aliveTheodore's grandmotherTheodore standing up for the ladiesHow the girls are always packing heat! less
