Tangled by Carolyn Mackler
2.0
As someone who really enjoyed all of Carolyn Mackler's books so far, i was looking forward to reading Tangled. However, the book was a disappointment for me.
First of all, none of the characters had a spark for me that made me feel like I wanted to know more about them. Jena had potential, but still didn't interest me at all for some reason. Dakota was kind of an a-hole, but "changed his ways" by choosing to... Not sleep with an older, single mother. Skye was just kind of flat and depressing to read about. And Owen... Well, his part was probably my favorite, so I can't complain about him.
Second, the plot wasn't really what I was expecting. I thought it would be spending more time at Paradise, but in reality that was only the first of four parts. I just wasn't very interested in what was going on. And then in Skye's part the whole thing builds up to an event that was practically ignored in the end.
I don't remember what else I was going to say... Just, if you want a good book by Carolyn Mackler, I'd suggest Guyholic or Vegan Virgin Valentine (and of course The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things!)
