Disappointed
I was so disappointed in this book! I had such high hopes, since I thought the first book, “Belles,” was so cute. It completely broke one of the major rules taught in pretty much every writing class: “Show, don’t tell.” The author pretty much smacks you in the face with whatever point she’s trying to get a across—and then she beats you over the head with it. And the teen whininess and drama was way too over the top in this installment. Julia Whelan still turned in a good performance, but that couldn’t save this book. The three stars are for her alone. So sad to have to write a negative review of this one. I still recommend the first book in the series though.
