I don't know that I'd say 'liked' — it was a page turner, but yes, everyone is either an idiot or drunk/insane. (I think I gave it 3 stars.) I'd read more by that author but I'm not going to go out and hunt down all her books.

But she could kick ass, didn't she help defeat a big bad?

So, the friend you told was the bully that picked on you?
