Cracked Up To Be

Alright, I'm going to start this out with a personal problem that has been affecting my reading lately, and almost caused me to abandon this book completely...
I will shamefully admit that I am a judge.
Of course I don't judge a book by it's cover, but what about page format, fonts, sizes, titles and page texture??
The colour of the pages and the coarse-ness of them made my skin crawl.
Fortunately, I got over it...

'Cracked Up To Be' is your typical angsty-teenage story... If you couldn't already tell by the back (which was HORRIBLE--'but something terrible has happened and it may be her fault...'--it's so cheesey you could grate it on spagetti). But what kept me reading was the fact that you don't figure out what the terrible thing is. You really don't. You can't even guess. Or at least I couldn't. You get little pieces of it, which was pretty nice. A very pretty puzzle, which of course comes together at the end, with such a heightened climax it still kind of haunts me. Although I wanted to put the book down multiple times throughout the story, I'm glad I didn't. The ending really brings it all together.
This ones really unforgetable. The ending, at least.

Cheers,
