Nominate for Teens’ Top 10: No
Recommend: No
Compelling Aspect of the Book: This book was not compelling at all.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I thought this book was very poorly written and a bad representation of how teenagers act and it felt like the author doesn't know anyone in the teen years. Most of what I read seemed to be focused around spending parents’ money, drugs, severe cliques, drugs, and sex.
Comments: I think this book was very poorly written. The author didn't know how to connect to her readers and portrayed the characters in a very negative aspect. Some of the catty remarks border on the ridiculous and I feel that the author should learn more about how teens act instead of writing based upon stereotypes.
Cover: The cover was not very tempting. I found the muted colors to be unattractive and gloomy. The two silhouettes were very basic.
