Like any long-running series that's out there, this one is starting to really go downhill. I haven't enjoyed the previous books as much, but still really enjoyed them & appreciated them for what they (tried) to be. I really struggled to enjoy this one as much, and it's definitely my least favorite so far.

So, thoughts? Well, Betsy's changing all right, and not for the better. All of a sudden she can talk about things her character would never care about, and instead of being smart-but-nobody-knows-it, now she's just spitting out trivia and facts. She has a few character-enlightening moments, which is swell, but the book just really drags on without much of anything happening. I don't read the series for the romance (yuck), and there's not a lot of it in this one.
