No more of them, I say!! Still, it's good to hear you liked this one overall and would read the sequel.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598314342497862852.post-86651949419884419132014-02-17T17:28:38.202-08:002014-02-17T17:28:38.202-08:00Haha love triangles! *le sigh* I don't ALWAYS ...Haha love triangles! *le sigh* I don't ALWAYS hate them but almost always, and especially when it's stupid and pointless like it seems to be in this one. I find most are just added for the sake of drama and dumb conflict that is not even fun to read about. I also get what you mean about the family setting I mean it's like her what? Adoptive brothers? That's still weird to me. It sounds like this book had a lot of potential. I have been curious about it but I'm glad to be prepared for the romance in particular :)Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598314342497862852.post-46589904483955951712014-02-16T16:42:27.860-08:002014-02-16T16:42:27.860-08:00I've got this one for review and am happy that...I've got this one for review and am happy that you thought the familial bond was well done. I also like that each character had a different personality. It's too bad about the romance though because I don't like love triangles either and having them involve siblings is just weird.

My Life with the Walt...I love stories of this kind. My Life with the Walter Boys does sound very good, but I get your points of concern and need more time for certain feelings to evolve. Very good that you are comparing this book with Something Real and talk about both slightly negative and positive aspects. Also, I'm impressed that the author wrote this book when she was only fifteen!

I also judge stories ...This was an awesome review. I also judge stories by how many eye rolls I experience. I would have had the same problem with this story. Plus if she just lost her family and is in a brand new situation I would think she would be focusing more on that...and perhaps the boys in the family would be more sensitive. Without the inner conflict I think it loses a lot.

I didn't feel like there was anything taboo about the romance(s), but I did expect the parents to make a fuss out of it or make more rules than they did. But yeah, either way the romance aspect was quite contrived -- without getting too spoilery for fellow commenters, the one guy totally changed after they got together, and the other one was just kind of a jerk, so I don't get why we were suppose to like him.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.com
