Can’t Lose You 2
Posted: February 23, 2007 Filed under: Can't Lose You Leave a comment »I know I promised no more big slugs of series, but I’m on a roll lately with my backlog (if you couldn’t tell by the huge number of posts). I’m finding it hard to stop when I get going on a series.
Yeah, this isn’t… this isn’t good. Not at all. The only people who would be able to tolerate this are the kind of card-carrying women who… I don’t know, cry a lot and sleep with Mr. People Pillow at night (which is like a teddy bear, but blue and with a surprisingly frightened face). I am one such woman, fortunately, and this series has not wound up in the trash yet. I seem to be making good progress on it, but this is possibly because I know there’s no avoiding W Juliet now that I’ve got the entire 14-volume series. It’s time to read it, Connie.
There was no improvement in this volume, actually. Everything pretty much stayed the same as last volume, except we find out a little more about poor girl’s father. Poor girl doesn’t find this info out herself though, so it’s not like it really meant anything to the story. Rich girl is still a heinous bitch, unfortunately, but she’s not in too much of this volume, which is fortunate. Rich boy is still none the wiser when it comes to the two playing “Prince and the Pauper,” and now poor boy may be getting in on the triangle.
That’s it! That’s the entire volume. You don’t have to read it now. That vague summary is all you need to know. If you’re not a total genre hound, it’s probably not for you as it’s two volumes in and the plot still hasn’t gotten any deeper. It’s got all the elements of the good romance story and romantic triangle though, so if you’re a total girl like I am, you’ll probably wind up liking it. The romance between rich boy and poor girl is pretty good, I will admit… it does make me wonder if rich boy will go for rich girl when she gets back, or knows that he fell in love with poor girl. Hm.
So yeah, my apologies, I’ll probably suck down the next two volumes of this while I’m reading it.
