one sentence summary:
an angsty teenage boys has four angsty personalities all inside his head (...and, really, what angsty teen doesn't)
review:
normally I *love* Gena Showalter's writing, she is awesome at steamy love scenes and keeping a story moving to the next one. I figured, why not read her YA novel, it should be pretty good,, she has talent after all... OH BOY, I was wrong, so very wrong. The writing was solid, good vocabulary and grammar, but it was as if with out the sex to anchor her writing there was no direction for her story. The premise sounded like it would be a great story, but no, it was so cluttered and confused that the characters got lost and the point was missing. There was a beginning but no middle or end, it was like you got into a raft to go over some rapids but... oh snap...no paddles. but then your river keeps switching continents, and then is a on a pond, and then it morphs into a submarine (not that that makes any sense), then suddenly you are back on the river in your raft, but the water is jello. Yeah that is how the story flows (not at all). It is an entertaining read if you are looking to read something to learn how never to write. People who enjoyed Twilight may enjoy this series.
3/10
