Review of “The Mall” by Megan McCafferty
I am giving “The Mall” is 3 star rating. I found the references to everything 90s to be constant and annoying. I should have counted how many time the writer refers to a store, product, toy, TV show, movie, etc. from the 90s but that would be more than the pages of this novel. Even […]
