I also appreciate it when the author doesn't try to pretty up his/her simplistic writing and limited vocabulary with superfluous adjectives. For a book to be tolerable to me, there needs to be a minimum of cheese, likable characters, very small moments of stupidity (if there needs to be any stupidity at all), a relatively competent grasp of English, and an absence of overused phrases/cliche's. I don't mind wasting my time on a book that's not that deep as long as it's relatively tolerable. This was another book where the writing style signaled fairly early on that I wasn't going to like it. This doesn't automatically mean it's going to be bad, but I'm beginning to notice a pattern those who like Twilight enough to write their own fanfiction based on it don't seem to know a whole hell of a lot about good writing. I'll admit I was a little ways into this story before I wondered if perhaps it weren't more Twilight fanfiction parading itself around as actual writing. But then the ridiculous factor is upped by the melodrama of all of Sylvia's friends, who make it seem as if someone breaking up with his high school sweetheart should be considered a capital crime. But then you find out that her behavior directly following the break-up was even more pathetic, so then some of it makes a little sense. I don't.I can't.look, I'm not against the idea that you can remain in love with someone after four years, but the way Sylvia acts, it's like the breakup occurred four months ago, not four years. Four years ago, and she's still a whimpering mess. Poor little college girl still heartbroken over her high school sweetheart. Across the Hall was one such suggestion, and I can honestly say that I will never take a recommendation that lightly again. So when a discussion popped up on my Goodreads homepage regarding books that were similar to Beautiful Disaster, I took a peek and wrote down a few suggestions. I couldn't help it, it was sort of a guilty pleasure book.
