My Thoughts: This was one of my re-reads for the year. it wasn't overly bad. I think the book was a lot more fun to read the first time I read it. It might have something to do with the fact that I was also a lot younger then too. .

The fast times of Beverly Hills most beautiful and glamorous people drive the page-turning action of this irresistible, stylishly written novel.
My Thoughts: This was one of my re-reads for the year. it wasn't overly bad. I think the book was a lot more fun to read the first time I read it. It might have something to do with the fact that I was also a lot younger then too. Cammie's a bitch. It's actually really funny how many girls are like her. Pretty and vindictive because they have little self-confidence in other areas besides their looks and their abilities in bed.
