Bookstores may choose to sell it in the tween section, but that only proves my point about how dumbed-down it is: The publisher classifies the book as “adult” reading, but some bookstores apparently realize that it’s written at too low a level for adults.

i would also recommend you check the classification of several bookstores stocking of this book – it is almost always listed in the tween section.

Sorry I had to write it, though, because I love epistolary novels and picked this one up for that reason. It just didn’t deliver.
