Heartless

The logistical errors in this book were quite distracting.

I'd had a long week last week (my pager went off starting at 1:30 PM and didn't stop for 18 hours.) I was too tired to do pretty much anything. Including getting up from the couch to find my book. So I did what any reasonable person would do, found the first ebook available from my library and downloaded it to my laptop.

I have intermittently watched the TV show of the same name (after it was recommended to me by a patient) and found it extremely entertaining - dark, dramatic and yet with relevance to actual teenage issues, without being a Very Special Show. So I chose Heartless from the library (none of the other books in the series were available.)

On the one hand, it was a quick read - it took me less than two hours. The characters were flat. There was no thematic intentions. I can ignore all of that for a good mystery, but literally nothing happened in Heartless. There were a couple of interesting plot threads, but they were left completely without conclusions. Very Ho-Hum.

These girls really just don't learn. It doesn't matter what happens to them because they will just repeat the same idiotic mistakes in the next book. And Emily. Oh my god please stop whining! And learn to shut your mouth! In this installment the girls are all given rope and they subsequently hang themselves.

I can't believe I signed up to finish this series!!! Curse me!!!!
