We are the same age. Ironically I gave it to my daughter who is 17 and she abhorred it.

Too fluffy, even though I do like some fluff like DE Stevenson.

I found them almost all so unlikeable, and I worried as every other reader seems to adore the book.

I gave up when I was maybe a fourth into it. It's a book I would have liked 20 years ago; at this point in my life, not so much.mybookstringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614546489868293284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-27123464803983338342016-01-26T01:19:32.573+11:002016-01-26T01:19:32.573+11:00I didn't read this book until last year, but I...I didn't read this book until last year, but I loved it. Ironically, I don't think I would have appreciated it as much when I was younger--the distance from my own experiences as a 17-year-old made Cassandra that much more interesting and fresh as a character.
