" The first thing I ever read by E. Lockhart. Who knew that just a year later she'd become one of my favorite authors? Anyway, I thought this book was okay, but I noticed some stylistic things that I'd also noticed in a short story of hers that I read in an anthology. (Could that sentence be any more crowded?) So at first I said to myself, "E. Lockhart? Meh." If only I could go back in time and warn myself. "
