My personal
Rating-
I really felt bad for Katy in this
book. I could understand where she was coming from, but it didn’t make her “wrong
thoughts/moments” less painful to read. (Second hand embarrassment from a character
and all that. ;) )
See y’all on Monday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
