I don't recommend Abandon.

 What the F this book is supposed to be?!! 
 I was confused by Cabot's writing style so it was hard to comprehend the story. The author writes like I already know about Pierce's past when in fact, i don't. Rewind, fast forward, double rewind - that's i felt like when i was reading it. 
 Should Pierce come across as a resilient young woman or as a problem child who really doesn't know what to do with her life? Her character was vague enough for me to not connect with her in any way. John is not as engaging as i thought he would be. who the hell falls in love after meeting a 7-year-old girl then rages when that same girl died suddenly when she was fifteen? John is a stalker, that's what he is. There is no way their love story is in that book - i know, i read and finished it! 
 The conflict is nowhere near resolved. Just when i thought John and Pierce are going to take some action, i was already reading the acknowledgement page. *big sigh* 
 I am definitely not reading another Meg Cabot book.
