Just pretty good.<br /><br />To be honest I was excited about some hot forbidden step-sibling action (does that make me creepy? lol), but yah, it was kind of lacklustre. Like... they were adorable together, but they really didn't take much time to think "hey, this is a bit awkward". So yah, the book was different than I expected in a lot of ways.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-49027043276372984982012-01-04T16:40:36.304-05:002012-01-04T16:40:36.304-05:00Interesting that they never thought about their re...Interesting that they never thought about their relationship being odd. I'm not crazy about mental illness being handled to lightly, but the humor aspect of the writing would be a win for me.Alyssa Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619379952262450970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-36097427222082590782012-01-03T00:50:42.708-05:002012-01-03T00:50:42.708-05:00I guess he wasn't so off limits after all, eh?...I guess he wasn't so off limits after all, eh? I bet it's pretty common in RL, step siblings hooking up, I mean. I know a few who have. LOL<br /><br />The schizophrenia angel does sound interesting, even if it's a little on the light side.<br /><br />And I think I'm with Aylee on needing to read more stand-alones!<br /><br />Happy New Year!

That's odd. On the plus side, I feel like I should be making more of an effort to read standalones in 2012.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-12941882360501773052011-12-31T00:42:36.543-05:002011-12-31T00:42:36.543-05:00so was oke but not a must read!!
