                                       Opinion: The books were very well written and the plots well
                                       thought out. However many of the same central themes
                                       repeated and the girls seemed to have the same issues. The
                                       best story in here was Before Midnight, in my opinion. The
                                       book was an interesting read at most, a slight let down at
                                       least. However I will be checking the library for more by this
                                       author.
