I finally hacked through the last chapters last night...and I feel such great relief. I really love a good bad book, but man, this barely had enough funny bits to keep me going.

*salutes* I am proud to have done my snarkiness-filled duty for all the book-lovers! Buuuuut, even I can only go so far...bravery or just a case of the stubborn stupids, only time can tell!

That one was particularly bad--what a way to throw a HUGE bucket of ice-water on a sex scene! Besides the sex-ed questions that immediately pop up with everybody:
"Uhhhh...you guys have proof you've been tested? You know she can still possibly get pregnant, right?" *covers face with hands*

I am delighted to add you, btw! So nice to meet you!
