The emotional immaturity the characters showed sometimes (not all the time) mirrored my own this week. So, when in 'nobody gets me' mode, they resembled me. THAT was what I didn't like. Let's just say I didn't need to be reminded. The books overall I liked a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-1131665856839034992005-11-10T18:37:00.000-05:002005-11-10T18:37:00.000-05:00LOL Karen!
