3.13 AVERAGE


This book was one of those books you just can't pull away from. It's good, but in a strangely horrifying way. The amount of terrible decisions the main character makes is overwhelming, but at the end of the day, you're rooting for her because society stinks. Overall I liked it, especially because it got me engaged and out of a reading slump. Review to come.

Katie Cotugno is the queen of writing imperfect, messy girls who screw up majorly and have to face the consequences. This book is excellent.

If you want to read about awful people doing awful things to each other, boy, have I got the book for you!!!!!!

I loved how messy and true this was, and unlike so much of YA, it didn't have a tidy ending. So much more realistic.

3/5 stars
a slight twist on a more basic teen romance story. i actually liked this more than I thought I was going to!

This book made me want to finish it, but the ending seemed a little rushed and I felt as though after all that she went through, she did end up running away from her problems somewhat. The main character was also not the most likable, nor did she make me want to root for her.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb book.
