Skimmed a couple of pages in the middle, read the last chapter, felt like I didn't miss anything, especially since the ending *was* predictable (both in terms of the romance and villain). I think that's difference between <I>The Luxe</I> and <I>The Season</I>: I don't think <I>The Luxe</I> was particularly well-written, but it didn't lack for plot. Or OMG-what-is-she-going-to-do-next characters.Trishahttp://theyayayas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-2120221266271978452009-05-01T22:13:00.000-04:002009-05-01T22:13:00.000-04:00Thanks for the review.

But I could be wrong!<br /><br />And this sounds like a YA version of Lisa Kleypas's <I>Wallflowers</I> romance series! Pretty women who refuse to give in to societal expectations; free-thinking girls who demand attention from free-thinking boys; etc. And I do <I>love</I> those books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-49279500130842991762009-05-01T09:25:00.000-04:002009-05-01T09:25:00.000-04:00Nice, detailed review.

Me, I think are too many authors and too many books to read. <br /><br />I'm grateful for you. You help me steer clear of books I was only remotely interested in and give me reason revisit others I initially opted to pass on.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-49912301699849030132009-04-30T18:56:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:56:00.000-04:00nice review- defiantly different from others I rea...nice review- defiantly different from others I read!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929361333038091363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-79252369694725377542009-04-30T17:53:00.000-04:002009-04-30T17:53:00.000-04:00I haven't read The Season yet, but I really enjoye...I haven't read The Season yet, but I really enjoyed your review. It's definitely good to get different opinions, and you've actually made me want to read it even more now, so I can see what I think of it.<br /><br />I'm glad you weren't put off reading any more of the author's work - that's always a good sign!prophecygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943009333696533856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-10306520585023746112009-04-30T17:39:00.000-04:002009-04-30T17:39:00.000-04:00You make some interesting points.

That's why the best I can do is be honest and try to get a bunch of different POVs. I'm glad you all agree with me, and hope you still enjoy reading as a result! :)Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-45992337170976304662009-04-30T16:55:00.000-04:002009-04-30T16:55:00.000-04:00I'm actually glad I got to read a negative review ...I'm actually glad I got to read a negative review for this.
