Howdy YAL!
I used to be the blogger called YAL Book Briefs, but I grew bored of the handle and changed my name to Howdy YAL. I also respond to MJ. I like to read, write, eat truffles, and watch bad Lifetime movies.
First Third (106): Stopping for Tonight So I can Be Halfway Cheerful Tomorrow
Yep, everyone was right. I won't be buying anymore books by de la Cruz. The prose is wonky though after awhile I got in fanfiction.net mode and just filtered it out. The characters are like a weird hybrid between Bliss and Lawson and Mimi and Kingsley, but more like Bliss and Lawson which is just great since I hated those two together. The research about the environment has me laughing considering I have done work on environmental issues and have taken environmental law classes, I don't see how the world can be frozen because of pollution-thought it was the other way around. And don't get me started on other aspects.
I guess that's what the full review will be. This was only a quasi minireview.
