The *dies laughing* Vegas trip was my limit. I'm not wasting any more time trying to make this book happen. It's NOT happening. 
 The writing is weak. The characters thin & cliched. The settings are completely unrealistic. I see nothing that even gives me a hint as to why everyone loves this book. I gave it more of a shot that I wanted to hoping it would turn around and it only got worse. I have quit reading better books long before now, but I tried to give this one the benefit of the doubt. In the end, it only made me doubt how anyone could buy into this story.
