I liked the Ireland one all right ... it was sort of boring, but aside from the pasted-on love plot it was considerably better than some books I've read.

And then the book after THAT, well, it drags on and on and on and only takes a week to happen or something, and Nita ends up in an ethical dilemma because her mom has cancer and even cancer cells deserve to live. Plus she's going through puberty now and has OMG!HORMONES.

And the one after that? The one after that, Nita and Kit turn into cardboard cutouts labeled "TEENAGER -- HORNY" in big scratchy black marker letters.
