I'm definitely interested in Take Me On, West's story. Pretty good job conveying the in-over-her-head situation, and I like that she discovered racing before Isaiah showed her. What can I say, gotta love/hate overprotective big brothers.

Too short to really build intrigue or develop the characters, so it fell kind of flat. Everything was kind of jumbled together, and it was hard to follow for someone who didn't really speak tennis.

Decent plot and likable characters, though the actual storytelling was not all that special. Repetitive and dull at times, too fast-paced at others.

I probably would've enjoyed it more if I was an older (not like old-old, like housewife age) woman. But I did enjoy the Leslie-Harlan relationship, if not how archetypical he was, and the premise was promising.

Much the same as the first - girl with family issues, boy falls in love and out with his brothers - except with a little less relationship drama; more substance/depth so that was good.

Not spectacularly unique, though the "kiss" element made it a little more distinct. Lots of interesting characters and red herrings, though the reveal was a little disappointing.

Seriously lacking in depth; I found it hard to believe that meeting this boy totally changed her view on the pageants she lived for. And her final decision

Spoiler

to do it and deliberately sing badly

was just illogical.

Decent and intriguing enough to continue the series. I guess it's technically dystopia, but it didn't feel like a YA cliche. Not a huge fan of Ruth, though I am definitely Team Lazarus.

Rereading this book with some distance frm other YA dystopias, I start to see what it is about this one. Lots of cute Four/Tris scenes, yet she exists as a separate entity from him. Wish there'd been more focus on Caleb.

Probably would've enjoyed it even more if I understood the rules of bridge going in, but I couldn't be bothered to figure them out while reading. Liked the characters, enjoyed the plot too.
