• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The line “i hate myself so much for not being loved” bumped this up half a point for me but the preachiness at the end brought it down.

Some parts are a bit predictable, but others are sweet, sad, surprising, and absolutely wild.

Okay I love Jack and Hannah & I love how real they felt. I read this stupidly fast because it was like watching a movie. I’m definitely going to read more books by Katherine Center in the future.

This was silly fun, but Bratz/fashion dolls did not deserve the stray criticism they got here! 

Everything about those dolls and

Kennedy

felt so... 2010's feminism.

“What was I allergic to? I was allergic to disappointment. I was allergic to betrayal. I was allergic to friendship. To hope. To optimism. To life, to work, to humanity in general.

And so I just answered with, ‘I’m allergic to everything,’ and I walked out of the garage.”

Hannah is very squish (and the best kind of petty)

Kelly, Doc, and Connie are also squish.

But Jack—Jack Cinnamon-Roll Stapleton—is THE squishiest. Find me an H more babie than this mf. You can’t.
