It's just that I try not adding new series titles to my tbr pile as I'm already reading way too many. *sigh*Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878030813967203887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-46077480681001193282012-12-05T11:16:18.183-05:002012-12-05T11:16:18.183-05:00I liked this book a lot.

Also, I have this event on my blog called OVEREXPOSED BOOK 2012, a book that has been talked about, featured, reviewed by almost every book blogger. You can vote your favorite YA book, and might win it! I thought you might be interested since you read YA. http://wp.me/p2Da8V-iH<br />-<br />Leigh<br />Little Book StarLeighhttp://wp.me/p2Da8V-iHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-11103335864857259492012-12-04T19:09:25.244-05:002012-12-04T19:09:25.244-05:00I've heard pretty mixed things about this one ...I've heard pretty mixed things about this one too and don't think it's my kind of book but I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I love the concept of perfection becoming something that's not the ideal. This book sounds really interesting and is definitely on my radar!
