Query: Did this author get paid by the word??

As the mother of a 13 year old girl who is reading the series (and not really enjoying it), I decided to try this book. It's nauseating. I'm only a few chapters in but it's just endless description of boring things. The writing actually reminds me of some of my teenage diaries (full of angst, metaphor and not particularly interesting to anyone but me). I've heard that there is some kind of conflict later in the book that at least moves the plot along but I'm about 200 pages in and I'm suffering. The writing is terrible, not much plot, not much reason to really care about any of the characters. Ugh.
