I think I would have ate this up like 15 years ago. I didn’t dislike it by any means, but it felt too YA for me to connect to. The main character was bordering on “not like other girls,” le sigh. I liked the four brothers though; those characters engaged me. Even if the narrator gave them corny Texan accents. Certain plot points felt predictable, and I also was a bit let down with the ending. I know she wanted to set up for the series to continue, but I was hoping for more resolution.
