I loved it..it was nice..especially the ending :) ( )

Lo and behold, self-actualization was achieved with just a french kiss. Thank you. I can stop reading this now. ( )

This whole series is such a delight! This chapter, picking up in December, would make an ideal holiday read and I'm planning to pick it back up next year at that time. This one brought me right back to my own teenage years, and the giddy bubbly energy leading up the the winter ball! Mia is such an incredible main character, and Anne Hathaway's narration makes this one of the best young adult audiobooks I've heard. It's such a treat to watch the characters grow within each volume and as part of the overall arc of the series.

Pretty good. ( )

This one slipped back a little on the Tara scale of awesome, and I think it's partially down to the fact that it covers hardly any time at all. We're talking two weeks. I would've liked all this stuff to be spread out a little. We're made to feel like Mia is leading Kenny on for years, when really it's just a matter of days.

The Kenny stuff is another reason why I didn't like this third book quite as much. I found Mia too passive about it, and Kenny himself is just way too OTT with all his public declarations. I mean really, who does that?

On the upside, Mia and Michael finally got it together, yay. Of course, the problem with this is that there is no way they'll be happy from now until the tenth book, so now the pairing I've become invested in is going to crash & burn at some point soon.

Still very enjoyable, but I hope the fourth book slows things down a little and isn't so focussed on a tiny point in time.
