Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss, ad nauseam. It annoys me when a writer repeats the same episode over and over and over again - I understand why some writers do this but I believe it is an insult to the reader. The author apparently feels her readers are so dense that they can't figure that the characters are obsessive without the excessive repetition. If Hoover had kept the repetitive kissing nonsense to three or four times she could have cut the number of pages by at least 25%. I got to the point where there were many chapters I just skimmed to see if there was anything other than the kissing silliness. This story was unbelievable at so many levels it would take a book to write them all down. I'll just mention one unbelievable - an 18 year boy goes on meeting after meeting with a young girl and teases her about kissing her saying " he wants to make sure that their first kiss is the greatest kiss in the world". This goes on over many many meetings. Have you ever known of an 18 year boy controlling his high testosterone level like this - unnatural and extremely unlikely. The book is riddled with similar unbelievables. I spent too much time reading this annoying story and do not want to spend any more time on it. But if you want to spend some time reading a very poorly written story then this is the book for you.
