So I am certain that is why it worked for me hahha. I usually don't do that much fluff either, but I liked it. The others sound really bad though. I was rolling my eyes at the dialogue of the first one too! And doesn't it drive you crazy when a book keeps you on the hook? And then you read the next and it's like... nope, I was right when I wanted to quit!
