It was very cute. Not my fave by West, but still fun, cute, and I actually liked the love interest.

I think the series has evolved a lot since the first book, and the books are always fun and schmexy. Even my least favorite entertained me.

I worked like a beast today unpacking and driving all over Raleigh to get all the things that my child considers "basics". A ton of money was spent today, but I am happy to set her on her very serious new path. So far, so good with Lucky in Love. I needed something totally cute after that sad graphic novel I read yesterday. I really enjoyed the first book of the The Great Library series. I find all the alternate future stuff really cool.

Malone does a good job with banter and also balancing the emotions. The MC was angsty, but not so much as to alienate the reader, and I think that balance is important. I love Green's books -- read them all, saw both adaptations. Have to say, I sort of liked how the Paper Towns movie made it more of a buddy story than the book.

It is very exciting about the new John Green book, although it's been so long since I've been into reading his stuff that I'm not sure if I'll actually get around to it.
