Anyway I didn't pay too much attention to it at BEA, also probably because it was so hyped (remember that car and everything?). It doesn't sound like I'd enjoy it too much anyway. <br /><br />Falling into Place sounds pretty amazing though.

Hm... not sure if this one is for me, but I am more curious about Falling into Place. Multi POV doesn't always work but I'm curious to see how it does work within this book.

Honestly, I don't think it would have been as good written any other way.

They are kind of wacky, madcap and impulsive, anything can happen, adventures aren’t they?".<br />I suppose. I don't usually read road trip stories, but what you said makes sense.<br /><br />As for F.I.P., multiple POVs and stories that slowly work their ways into my psyche are good!<br />I usually don't like books about popular, mean girls, unless they're caught at a point where things take a different turn (like Between by Jessica Warman). I've read many positive reviews about this one, even by people who (like you) don't share my average taste in books...so yes, I'll get to this one...soon, I hope.Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-9112405062507671622014-09-08T01:48:33.460-04:002014-09-08T01:48:33.460-04:00Eh on the first one, but the second one does seem ...Eh on the first one, but the second one does seem betterBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.com
