Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan
3.0
I'm debating between 2 and 3 stars. The writing style of this book bugged me SO MUCH.
All of the asides (some in parentheses). Annoying!
"... he has a new swagger in his step. I don't see anything anymore but I can't help but notice.".
I finished the book and I liked the overall story.
The fact that Willow enjoyed counting BY 7s and then stopped but still liked 7 as a number... it wasn't enough of a theme to warrant the title of the book, imho.
More than anything else, the switch between 1st person chapters and 3rd person chapters drove me crazy.
I wish the book could be reworked somehow.
