The footnotes sound like commercials really. I think Libba Bray considers all this when writing this book. You wouldn't have to look back to see who the characters are because of the distinct voices that match each beauty queen's state or some stereotype.Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745513625965620545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-62793245738817654602012-09-10T21:56:19.809-05:002012-09-10T21:56:19.809-05:00Oh no, you would forgive the footnote issue in thi...Oh no, you would forgive the footnote issue in this one.

I mean, the author knows her characters better than anyone so I'm sure she did an excellent job with it. I do love the premise for this one, which I never knew until you and Alysia reviewed it.

For that element, I prefer to read.
