One of this year's most fun reads! It's Empire Records in a modern bookstore. Like, there is NOTHING wrong with this!

Unfortunately, I had a few reasons for DNF'ing. I am finding that I am not vibing with Contemporary YA anymore. And that is fine! I am an old lady, and definitely not the intended audience. I think there is an audience for this book, but it is not me. Also, right at the beginning of the book, one of the characters steals, and unless it is for survival, or we are talking about a criminal type character, stealing bothers me in characters that I am supposed to sympathize with. Not the first book that I have DNF'd for that specific reason.

It was hard to follow the storylines for the first 2/3 of the book because there are so many narrators and characters!

A take off of the beloved movie Empire Records, This Is All Your Fault follows three girls over the course of a day as they try to save their bookstore from closing. If you haven't seen the movie, you probably will love the book. For me? It was just okay.
Wild Nights bookstore is in trouble and everything comes crashing down on one day. Rinn, Daniella, and Imogen couldn't be more different, but the one thing they agree on is that the bookstore is vital to their lives. As more and more problems mount, they girls have to decide just how much the store means to them and what they're willing to do to save it.
The one thing I loved and related to was the love of the bookstore. I have a local indie that I adore and it feels like home every time I walk in the door. If I lost it, I don't know what I would do. So I could 100% relate to what the girls were going through. And I admired their tenacity and focus.
What I didn't connect to was how all over the place the book seemed. It jumped around a little too much to really get to know the characters. A lot of people were introduced in a small amount of time that I started to forget a lot of the regulars. And then there was the conclusion which was so off the wall and unrealistic that I just didn't feel the happiness that I probably was supposed to.
Overall, it was an okay book. I liked the representation and what the author was going for. But there were parts that just missed the mark for me.
