This book is definitely not for me. The writing style is juvenile, and not in a good way; it’s stilted and awkward and difficult to read. There’s no plot except for Codi being embarrassingly envious and petty of her fourteen-year-old brother and picking fights because other people like to party and she doesn’t. There’s definitely some potential with some of the characters, but I don’t feel like waiting another 100 pages to start enjoying my reading experience.

I’m quite disappointed, because I was super excited for this and expected to like it, but I just don’t.
