It was definitely worse than her previous few. It had such promise in the beginning, but just kind of failed a bit in the end. The ending bugged me the most because, hey, what happens to the people in Here? I started to like them and then all of a sudden--poof--their story is over. So, yeah, certain aspects DEFINITELY annoyed me. It was a cute read, but not as good as her others by far. She has another one that just came out. I'm interested in seeing how it is when it makes its way to the states.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8861465309609418332/6983272298081091883/comments/default/4788721805683239336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8861465309609418332/6983272298081091883/comments/default/4788721805683239336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.halfdesertedstreets.com/2008/05/book-review-theres-no-place-like-here.html?showComment=1210466400000#c4788721805683239336' title=''/><author><name>Lauren</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_UbGhy9MvagI/SCEnHJShbjI/AAAAAAAAALE/QCseqLMGnUk/S220/camera.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.halfdesertedstreets.com/2008/05/book-review-theres-no-place-like-here.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-6983272298081091883' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8861465309609418332/posts/default/6983272298081091883' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-762301598'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-6824440341940765177</id><published>2008-05-10T20:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-10T20:23:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ugh.

"If You Could See Me Now" was fun and adorable, but completely different. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This one has been my least favorite of the four, but it's still good. It has her classic, fun writing style. She just released a FIFTH book, but it's only published in Europe right now. I'm patiently waiting for it to be released here!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I did hear about her writing for "Samantha Who!" Neat, right? So...five books, one TV show and she's only 23.
