Take out the pregnant story...I really liked Melody. Take out the pregnant story line and you have the typical story of a teen who is pushed to hard by her parents to be perfect. Her parents have forced so many think of her to make her well rounded. But, nothing she does seems good enough. She's constantly belittled with comments that bring her down. I like that she's doesn't seem to behave in the typical fashion of the other character throughout this book. You can see that she wants to be more than what she's been limited to.Eestihttp://petluvme.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266975.post-47014860453893767572011-11-15T16:12:26.819-07:002011-11-15T16:12:26.819-07:00This doesn't sound like the usual book you wou...This doesn't sound like the usual book you would choose. I'm curious as to why you are reading it. It sounds a bit undeveloped. I like to read symbolism. I like the names of the girls, but taking that to Otherside and Goodside for places sort of sets up a warning that the book won't be as good as it could be. It will be interesting to see if you read the next one and what you have to say about it.mudderbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537045078065798116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266975.post-65748638904848626172011-11-15T08:01:41.505-07:002011-11-15T08:01:41.505-07:00Sounds like an interesting idea for a story but yo...Sounds like an interesting idea for a story but your review leaves me not sure I'd want to take the time to read it. A lack of character development and when I hear too much author voice really annoys me. I leave this one on the shelf for now... let us know if it gets better!JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538979556081549617noreply@blogger.com
