You see that face right there? That was what my face looked like when I finished reading this book eight minutes ago. Yeah. That's right. I used a carrot. This book doesn't even deserve a real arrow.

What was Anderson thinking when she decided to write this book? Maybe this:

Hmm, let's see. Maybe I'll write a book about a nerdy preacher daughter who really loves science and math. She's only going to apply to MIT since she's all smart and everything. And then she'll get rejected and be devastated. Oh! And then meanwhile, she can have these neighbors whose house burned down! And since her father's a preacher, they'll have to live with her. Oh! And guess what else? The daughter in that family will be Kate's (that's what her name will be) 'arch nemesis'. And they'll have to get along. Ah. Too simple. Someone has to die. But who...? *Thinking* Oh I know! We'll just kill off the little 'brother'. He'll get electrocuted to death. That's pretty good. But wait, there has to be another twist. This 'brother' could be the actual son of the nemesis (Teri her name will be). Yeah, and to top it off, it'll be by her father! WHOA!!!!!!!!!!

Not.


I'm sorry if I'm giving away spoilers. But really, come on. It clearly says on the first page summary (and i quote)

4. Death--Fiction.

Someone has to die.
And you might as well know now that it was the little 'brother'.

I didn't mind the writing style at all. I enjoy how Anderson writes. The thing was, nothing was even resolved. I know that in real life, often times things don't have a happy ending. But this book didn't even have a sad ending. It didn't have anything. There was a lot of moping around going on in this book. Kate would mope. Teri would mope. And the worst part to me, about everything, was when Teri stole Kate's watch. I didn't even like Kate (she's stupid for only applying to one darn school) but i was ticked off for her. AND she stole the necklace. Things like that get on my nerves.

Sigh. This is just like that darn Twisted book. Same author. Same none plot. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Okay let me stop. I'm beginning to sound like the characters in this book. Too late.
