 I still enjoy the series but I found myself flip-flopping from how I felt a few years back. This book I liked less on the re-read from the first time I'd read it, yet I found myself liking V's book more than the first time I read that book. Who knows? 
 It's still the same guilty pleasure cheesiness that people either love or hate. This series is comfort food to me - it may be fatty and no good for me, but it's fun and satisfying nonetheless.
