The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder by Rebecca Wells

2.0

I wanted to like this book. I love the title, and the story sounded really interesting. It started off well. I liked Calla, I liked her mom, her siblings and her life. I liked the stuff from when she was a kid. I liked Tucker and I liked them as teenagers. As she grew up though I found myself getting bored. It got, I don't know quite how to explain it exactly, but I began to lose interest. I wasn't a huge fan of Sweets, and I didn't so much begin to dislike Calla, but I got annoyed with her. It seemed too long. To dragged out and the characters changed. I wish they had just ended the novel after Calla moved to New Orleans, or graduated from high school, cause I felt that part was strong.
