Review title: worst book I've read all year
Product review: Mendelson's largest crime in this novel is that she violates the principle we all should've learned in middle school - in writing, show, don't tell. Mendelson states plot elements and charater development as fact, rather than letting them emerge through detail and action. Worse, her characters are wooden and not believable. The novel left me unsatisfied, unconvinced, and angry that I'd wasted my time. I've never felt compelled to write a book review before, but this book was so terrible, I had to put out a warning. Stay away.
