Tangled up in meh

Have you ever read a book that's just...meh? Not 'throw it against the wall' flail inducing. Not 'throw it in the trashcan' bad. Not even 'well there's nothing on TV tonight, I might as well'. Just meh. 

For me, that was Tangled. It wasn't great (not by a mile), it wasn't terrible, it wasn't particularly anything. At one point while reading it, I fell asleep and it feel down under the bed. I couldn't find it and I wasn't all that broken up. I was about to move on to something new when I saw the corner poking out under the bedskirt. 

Told in four separate PoV's (no easy feat), it was an interesting concept, but it never really came together. The summary seems to indicate that they are all tied together by something, but really, they are just people that go on vacation at the same resort. 

Jena's PoV was a little on the whiny side, but not awful enough for me to drop it within the first 25 pages. Dakota's PoV almost got me there. (He's kind of a dick, and not the kind you fall in love with anyway). Skye's PoV was my least favorite. I think that was intentional. 

The whole book was saved, for me, by the last PoV... Owen. He was dorky and charming and I really connected to his voice. 

I was bummed because I'm really looking forward to Future of Us, which is co-written by this author (with Jay Asher). But the writing was good, I just think it was the story that I didn't connect with. 

*Disclaimer: I read this immediately after finishing Anna and the French Kiss. I don't think anything would have lived up. Except maybe Lola and the Boy Next Door.
