OKAY, as an English Lit and Education undergrad about to jump into my masters for library science, it's pretty obvious what I want to do with my life. I would say I'm fairly used to reading YA by now, but I made one very stupid mistake: I did not look at the publisher. Harlequin Teen produced a series of cookie-cutter teen romance novels, written by authors such as Meg Cabot, a few years ago. Like most cookies, I ate them up without realizing until too late how sick I felt. This book was like an updated "Victoria and the Viscount" or whatever it was called. Do not read this book if you're hoping to add to your YA stockpile. This book benefits the girls who hate reading, read Twilight, and need something else to fill that weird void between disliking books and wanting to read more. Hard to rate this because for me, it left a bad taste in my mouth; but, for the sake of reviewing the rest of the series, I suppose I will have to read the other books. 
 Biggest complaint of all though: Lack of depth. Seriously, authors owe more to their readers than this. 
 Makes me wonder if my high school self would have loved this though.
