Scott Sorensen stelekon — One of my very earliest reads, this continues to be a favorite story, especially in the dreary days of March, when I await the renewal of my own garden!

Fernando Matias fjbmatias8779 — stream of conscious novel that was too introspective and random for my liking - which is what it was meant to be like, but I prefer a plot with more than one character who is so far up his own rear end he disappears

Soleh Desayara soleh_desy9a4b — Now this is the fluff I've been looking for! And I know it has a murder and everything, but it's still delicious, delicious fluff. We'll get the bad stuff out of the way first: it was cliched. I guessed who the villain was as soon as they appeared in the book. I even guessed the why of the murder correctly. If you've seen enough cop shows, you'll get it, too. And the love triangle was weak. There's nice-guy ex-boyfriend Justin, who has always accepted Clare for exactly who she is, but whose betrayal Clare can't forgive. And there's bad-boy cop's son Gabriel (comes complete with mysterious tattoo!) who thinks Clare and her family are frauds (they are for realz psychic). Both boys were cookie-cutter and I do not care who she ends up with. Also, I wanted to shake sense into Clare's mom, who acts about sixteen years old most of the book. BUT none of those complaints matter. Why? Because it was just...fluffy. And not boring. And nothing that was wrong with the book bothered me while I was reading. It's basically like a Meg Cabot book. Sure, it's about as substantial as cotton candy, but who cares? It's so enjoyable while it lasts. I think my favorite part of the book was Clare being in the family business, which is to be psychic. Mom can read minds, brother can talk to ghosts and Clare can glimpse the past through touching objects. It's a fun twist to the whole I-have-to-work-at-my-parent's-business thing. Giving psychic readings is much cooler than working in your parent's grocery store! But both come with certain obligations and responsibilities and the complicated dynamics of family. Also liked that Clare's brother was the main murder suspect (to the police, not to Clare). It gave Clare more of an incentive to actually solve the murder and again has the family dynamic thing that really gets me in stories (ah, blood loyalties). This is pretty much the perfect beach read. You can practically smell the ocean from the book (takes place in the summer in an East Coast beach town). One more thing that's not a knock on the book but that has been bothering me recently that happened to come up in the book: you know how sometimes in movies (and books) bystanders have completely unnatural reactions to actual events and instead act as audience surrogates? Like, at the end of The Proposal the two main characters share The Big Kiss and everyone in the audience is going Awww and inwardly cheering. But, strangely, the other employees who are standing around during The Big Kiss scene form a circle around the couple and start clapping. You know what real people would do if they saw their co-worker and boss making out in the middle of the office? Either start gossiping like mad immediately or give looks of disgusts and silent disdain toward unnecessary PDA in the office. This relates back to Clarity because there's a scene where Clare confronts the resident Mean Girl in the restaurant where Mean Girl works. Mean Girl spit in Clare's drink and after some sniping between them, Clare throws her drink at Mean Girl. The audience, of course, cheers, because we hate Mean Girl. Weirdly, though, cop and cop's son (aforementioned love interest Gabriel), who have never met Clare before and probably only know Mean Girl as their waitress, are all impressed and give her "give 'em hell!" looks. Umm....if a random girl threw a drink at the waitress, I wouldn't know if they were bitter rivals or if random girl was just angry because her food was cold. I'd be a little worried if she came over to my table and started talking to me.

Diana Delgado dianadp — Well, found out what all the hubbub was about! Although I really started out enjoying it, it started to lose me about 3/4 of the way through. When it starts getting into unrealistic things...well, what am I saying, it's a story about a vampire! Might read the other books in the series this summer, but don't feel like I'm missing out on something if I don't.
