Meeen, I don't know why I like reading Penelope. I don't get attached to her characters, I think her books are very dramatic and even more with rich, entitled, spoiled characters. It's kind of like a grimdark wannabe Gossip Girl. Still I will continue, even though sometimes I feel like she draaaaags the plot a lot, and makes everything emotional and I don't really buy it.
