Okay, so I'd read the snippet on the back of this book, and that got me really excited to read it.

So I kept moving it down my TBR pile so I would read the books on top of it that I didn't want to read as badly as I wanted to read this one) faster.

Then I finally got to this book and it was... disappointed. I think I may have over-hyped myself for this book.

But honestly, the thing that really disappointed me... The snippet on the back? The one that got me excited to read this book? It wasn't in the book.

At first I thought I may have missed it, but, and I will be nearly directly quoting the snippet as I explain this:
The only time in the book where she did what her mother and Prairie had been warned not to do was before she even knew Prairie. 
SO I'm almost certain I didn't miss it. 
But then where was it?
ARG, I don't know!

I will read the next one, especially since (I think) there's only one more book. Just to find out what goes down. Also hoping that maybe I'll find the snippet on the back in book two. I dunno. 

Whatevs. Monica out.
