Good Lord, I thought Cutting Loose was boring ... well, apparently I hadn't seen anything yet. Everything I wrote in my review for Cutting Loose still stands for this book, but multiplied by 50%, at least. I'm ashamed to say that I think I may have skimmed over 60% of the book.It's too bad too, because I KNOW Poppy is funny as all get out and her and Jason could have had an off the charts 'zing-zing-zing' type of story but that apparently in not Ms Andersen's style :( too bad .... One more to go with Playing Dirty to finish the series but I really don't think it's going to change my opinion on the author.... Bending the Rules by Susan AndersenThe ladies are painting Agnes Walkett's house as she's taken them under her wing.Giving back allows them all to gain inner peace. Poppie is doing posters and greeting cards when she catches the teens defacing the town walls.She wants them to do community service.

Loved it. This was a reread inspired by the release of the third in the trilogy.
