Boring. Starts out okay and then... Nothing. Characters are extremely bland and do nothing. The main character is whiny, almost child-like in her thoughts and actions, and self-absorbed. The author touches on family relationships, etc., but you never really know how things turn out because as soon as they are mentioned, they are forgotten. She tries to be funny with puns and mostly it ends up being annoying. The first few chapters as okay but the rest is downhill. It doesn't even really have an ending. Really, it just stops and that's it. Very odd writing style. I'm not impressed. Boo!
