DEAR CANADA: Red River

This is going to be a short one, because honestly, I found this book really dull. It's one of the first four DC books and it's just a snoozer. The cast is either not fleshed-out well or genuinely unlikeable. I hate that the bratty obnoxious girl that plagues the diary-writer for most of the book ends up with her pretty cool older brother. Like...why? You see explanations for a change in her character, but no actual proof of them. Huge chunks of time pass because the writer is either too busy or too cold to write. Events happen out of the blue with no previous development.

I think this is realistic in that it's probably what most actual diaries read like. Not many people have the free time to write detailed entries almost daily. But realism doesn't equal a good read.
