esmewasreading 's review for:
Girls Like Girls
by Hayley Kiyoko
Bookclub has ended so I can now write my review!
This was... fine. Honestly it was an okay read. I felt myself getting bored about half way through. The writing is kind of bad, it's very basic. I was hoping for more poetic and lyrical writing.
Coley and all the other characters were so annoying. The romance is very insta attraction/ love at first sight.
I had never watched the music video before reading this so I saved it till I was done reading the book. The music video is captured in near perfect detail so that was great.
The book takes place in 2006 and there are a lot of references to that in the book, but sometimes the characters felt more modern.side note: were teenagers really drinking absinthe and doing drugs casually at parties? lol
I ultimately wish the book would have explored more of the grief aspect and how her relationship with her dad progressed.
