This surprised me. Yes, it was pretty clichéd and filled with stereotypes and repetition, but I was expecting it to be much worse. The tulip thing was done very heavy-handedly, but I honestly even enjoyed WTF moments and noticing speech patterns (sexy, VitaminWater, omigod, normal again, psychic gift, smoldering, red tulip, glistening, haughty — “haughty” isn't exactly a word used in too many books, but this one used it at least three times).
This isn't good, but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. What can I say? It's a new guilty pleasure.
