Review: not as strong as her other books

The twists and turns in Chasing Paradise made the book readable for me. However, the writing is generally quite weak. I am not one to harp on typos, but Chasing Paradise is riddled with them. The melodrama is so over the top, that it became comical at points. The part where Sienna changes her will to leave her money "to the orphans" comes to mind as an example. Oh yes...the orphans (not a charity or organization stated, just orphans in general)...that will is now in order.The characters are all charactures and not people in this book. It is not believable Sienna is in school or works, she just comes across as an overly sexualized insecure cliche. There is an excessive use of exclamation points in dialogue, and Blake speaks so oddly that it is creepy.The bar I set for this series was not terribly high, but this last book was just too over the top while and poorly edited.
