I'm back my peoples! With me I bring the reviewing of some books.
Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray
An entire series of books! Yes, I've already did a bit of a rough review on A Great and Terrible Beauty and said that I would save my verdict on the book until I finished the trilogy....Well, the verdict is in. I liked it. Yes, indeed. Go read it. Now.

DUDE. I love those books! And it's funny, because I had the same reservations as you did when I started reading them. Even the COVER of the book looked cliche, forget the description on the back. But the more I read the more I liked it. Couldn't figure out why at first, but I finally realized after I finished the second book that it's because of the characters.
They're REAL girls. They're not all angels with a few token flaws to make them seem like real people. As much as I love the novel, they're not like the girls in Little Women, who do something naughty but always learn the moral at the end of the chapter. They're not always selfless and strong and particularly kind. They do snotty things and make bad decisions, and sometimes I find myself downright disliking them. But that's what makes them REAL. It's what makes them human. I've never met someone who never had a selfish thought or didn't ever do something with selfish intentions. It's the human condition. But even through the hefty character flaws, they still have zest and personality and vulnerability that's relatable. You can still find things to like about them.
(Doh jeez. I think I just wrote a novel there)
Anyway... I just wanted to concur with your review.
(Ever read a book called As Simple As Snow? SO GOOD)
