The harsh review is mostly because the men are unhealthy!! And I refuse.

(I would have given it a solid 3 if it wasn't for one character.)

This book was easy to get through and enjoyable because:

1. I got to talk to people about it.

2. S.J.M. had some decent writing that definitely hooked me in the beginning. (124 pages in my first sitting.) 
Some of it made me either fall into very wonderful imagery, and some of it had me baffled. (Both in good and bad ways.) Through the tense trials towards the end, I was silently pleading S.J.M to stop with the Romance A Plot, and write books with more shit like that. I personally felt like that's where they shine.

3. It was kinda camp, and I don't usually read books like it, which made it an adventure.

I don't agree with the serious love OR serious hate for the series. Though, I can understand at least some places where both originate inside and outside this book.
