Girlfriend made me read it...
+ Amazing! + Not as good, but needed
I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

Just over a year ago, I was walking through Borders when I noticed this book and laughed to myself at its prominently displayed and clichéd promise of MAXIMUM GRADES.
"Oh great, I've seen this before," I thought. "Only suckers and suckers' parents buy these books, anyway." I walked away.
