AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:
My Take: I was really excited to get this book and start it, and I tried three different times to read it and I just couldn't get past page 30. It just didn't hook me. I was so incredibly bummed too, because I really, really wanted to read it. I am so sorry that I don't have a review for this book, because I really wanted to have one.
