It is about Mary's daughter, Gabry, who is in love with a friend from her childhood. Sound familiar? I would go insane if I had to read about another fickle teenage girl.Jessinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625938726369573756.post-18792677446349230312010-03-28T21:38:07.088-04:002010-03-28T21:38:07.088-04:00I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only...I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only person who didn't love this book. I'm also not a reader who usually makes herself fight to stay with a book - if it hasn't grabbed me within fifty pages, I'm done. I stuck with this one to see what happened and was disappointed.<br /><br />When I finished I thought I might want to read the next one but now that I've had time to think about it, I think I'll pass.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618983706954665594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625938726369573756.post-12929697577996508702010-03-24T20:13:23.473-04:002010-03-24T20:13:23.473-04:00Thanks for the comment.

I kept reading, hoping Mary would change and be the character I wanted her to be (asking the questions that interested me, enjoying her time with Travis, etc.). Ah well, can't love 'em all.Jessica Striderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375221959854098665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625938726369573756.post-49378426372654044032010-03-24T16:46:18.588-04:002010-03-24T16:46:18.588-04:00So many people loved this book (and the sequel our...So many people loved this book (and the sequel our shortly that is called The Dead Tossed Waves) that is nice to hear someone say pretty much what I felt.<br /><br />I didn't like Mary at all. I thought she was terribly selfish and so obsessed with what she wanted that she didn't care about anyone around her, no matter how much she might think she did.<br /><br />I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't like this book.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829070558793881064noreply@blogger.com
