Avid reader, part time gamer. I read and review books for other readers, not for authors. I review mostly M/M books, so if that doesn't float your boat, well, there are other boats in the sea, other reviewers in this great blogosphere!
I'd say this was between a 3 and a 3.5 for me. Sorry, but Charlie frustrated the fuck out of me. It didn't really make sense to me why she was so very anti-relationship. Yeah, her mom had been married a few times, but it seemed like she tried her best to give her a good life, so where did Charlie get the idea that fucking was ok, but love wasn't? But I loved Bastian, he was wonderful, as was his brother "Boo".
