Title: I've read random blogs better than this
Review: The narrator/heroine/protagonist - and I'm stretching it by applying the latter two terms to Lee Fiora - is an overwhelmingly one-note character. Over four years, she manages not to evolve or change in any way, good or bad. Her detached insecurity is annoying rather than endearing. She observes people rather than interacts with them, which is just as well, because the other characters in the book are pretty boring and one-note as well. I can't think of any redeeming qualities for Lee - she lacks ambition, is jealous of her friends, and [spoiler alert!] can't find the courage to initiate a daytime conversation with the young man who climbs into her bed and has sex with her at night. (Don't get excited - you have to wade through the first 3/4 of the book to get to anything that remotely interesting.) Most of the scenes begin with such gripping openings as "The night of the fire drill ... " Save your money and your time.
