review 1: Well, those lost memories sure came back conveniently and coherently enough to form a novel-length narrative. #HollywoodTBII think the book would have been fine at about half the length.The story came together all too tidily at the end. First it all went to hell. Justina had the worst luck a person could have in one night. Then it all just plunked together into a neat little happy ending where I'm still a bit confused about the motivation for any of the characters...Mellom drew out the suspense by alluding to information that would not be revealed until later on. It would have been great if this technique had been used a little less. I started to feel that she sometimes did not yet know the explanation for something, and therefore wanted to leave a little tease, until ... moreshe figured out what to put as the explanation.Justina was too sarcastic and constantly seemed to be mocking someone in her head to feel superior (even though she didn't realize it, that's how she came across). It made me wonder why she was so defensive. I did like the dog-swapping hijinks. :) That was unique.
review 2: You know what this story reminds me of? How I Met Your Mother, but in a different fashion. It's How I Got Ditched By Your Possible Future Father. (Just kidding, the 'by your possible future father' part is totally untrue. It should be this: By My Possible Boyfriend.) (If you do watch How I Met Your Mother, I can tell you that this book is just like the Pineapple Incident, except with answers and a conclusion). Okay this is going to be fast, because I have a lot of work to do. Ditched is a novel with no sequels, prequels, or any types of 'quels'. (Okay, that is just a weird sentence). Ditched is a comedy novel that made me laugh every two pages or so. Even though the madness level is pretty much the same as How I Met Your Mother, Ditched is cuter than it. Without the ugly Seasons HIMYM has. (HIMYM is on Season 9, right?) The plot is amazing. I feel like I'm experiencing the Pineapple Incident all over again. Justinia has to figure out how she ended up ditched. She tells her story to two ladies at the local 7-Eleven, who have interesting comments to offer. I also love the 2D characters that were occasionally pop up in the book. For example there was a pasator who said something like, "A man is the reflection of how a women treats him." Something like that. You won't get it, because you need to read the book. Ditched isn't a sad story; it's a pretty damn happy one. But I won't say anything. The ending. Biggest memorable quote: "Kiss the scumbag!" Ha! I have to remember to say that at my cousin's wedding (My cousin is the bride). Hmm...but it's a pretty bad idea.
