(Review from 2014)

Couldn't really deal with the use of the r-word. This book isn't old enough for age to be an excuse. I haven't really noticed it in the other books, so hopefully this is an exception.

Other than that, it was alright. Mia complains too much. And I don't like saying "the heroines complain too much and are whiny", because usually heroines in books go through awful stuff and should have the right to be sad/angry, but Mia literally has the perfect life and the things she complains about aren't even true.
