I have found a new favorite author. Between A Charmed Life and There You'll Find Me, Jenny B. Jones has demonstrated a style I could read all day.
On page one, Bella is introduced as a teen who leaps without fully understanding or caring about the depth of her actions.
I enjoyed not knowing how the books would end by the middle of each book.
Also, I really enjoyed the Bulwer-Lytton turns of phrase that are littered throughout the trilogy.Some favorites: "...leaving me with a feeling as unsettling as brown guacamole" and "My breakfast jumps on my stomach like a trampoline."
Finally, I enjoyed the way that nobody had coupled up by the end of the first book of the trilogy, leaving plenty of room for relationship growth over all 3 books.
