A review by kay2198
The Magnolia League by Katie Crouch
1.0
I usually don't write reviews but I felt for this novel, it was necessary.
I didn't hate this book but I also didn't like it. I felt that there was a promising plot line but it just wasn't written to its full potential so to speak. At some points the plot was really strong and others it was really weak.
What really upset me though was when Madison and hayes totally transformed Alex into the 'beautiful' magnolia girl. Alex was now skinny and had beautiful hair and skin and got Thaddeus the guy she had a huge crush on. I just felt that was way too stereotypical and unrealistic.
I also find it hard to believe that Madison and Hayes are truly Alex's friends because they totally changed her into someone she's not. And what Alex does to Thaddeus at the end by just ignoring him was totally uncalled for. She should have spoken to him and told him about her mother.
Overall I feel that this book was a rollercoaster of good and bad sections, and that it was often juvenile at times. I do not believe that this is a horrible book. It just wasn't for me and I feel it wasn't as developed as it could have been that's why I gave it only two stars. I will not be reading the sequel.
