It was a bit weird or rushed or something and I honestly can't even remember what happened, which is rare for me. I DID like it, though, and I thought the premise of the town and the heatnaps and such to be very original and interesting. Basically I liked it, I just didn't LOVE it. Certainly glad I read it and I love that you loved it!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-7942400615287954672012-04-10T15:13:13.701-04:002012-04-10T15:13:13.701-04:00I saw a lot of reviews that sad similar things, bu...I saw a lot of reviews that sad similar things, but I think it hooked me for some odd reason!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-27783243582890309462012-04-10T15:07:45.442-04:002012-04-10T15:07:45.442-04:00I'd seen the mediocre reviews, too, which made...I'd seen the mediocre reviews, too, which made me a bit wary, but still...I loved it!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-60554278366191981832012-04-10T15:07:19.769-04:002012-04-10T15:07:19.769-04:00Just creepy enough, eh? ;)Just creepy enough, eh? ;)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-32104166416818610212012-04-10T15:07:05.628-04:002012-04-10T15:07:05.628-04:00I found it pretty neat...I know some people didn&#...I found it pretty neat...I know some people didn't love it, but I found it rather interested and layered :)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-54027818195639315002012-04-10T12:49:26.377-04:002012-04-10T12:49:26.377-04:00I have not seen an actual really good review for t...I have not seen an actual really good review for this one.

I was curious to know what was going on, so that drove me to finish, but other than that, it wasn't really for me.<br /><br />I love your review, though - and I'm so glad you enjoyed Glimmer!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-87694646542870826002012-04-09T12:14:39.478-04:002012-04-09T12:14:39.478-04:00GLIMMER has been on my to-read list for a while, e...GLIMMER has been on my to-read list for a while, even though I have not read too many reviews for it so far.

I loved the first half, I liked being confused and trying to figure out just what the hell was going on with this town, but some the elements at the end threw me off a bit. There were just so many different pieces all coming together at once that my little brain short-circuited:) Absolutely stunning review though, I know I'll get nothing less from you when I come here!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-51702775427769090552012-04-09T11:41:32.870-04:002012-04-09T11:41:32.870-04:00I read this and LOVED IT.
