Kissing Ted Callahan by Amy Spalding

2.0

The main character Riley was somewhat dimwitted and extremely immature. She gives sixteen year olds everywhere a bad name because they do NOT act like this. Not all of them, at least. She handles everything in such an immature fashion, from her friendships to her relationships and everything in between. She ignores one of her best friends for the entire book for no reason besides the fact that she's really immature and doesn't know how to communicate. And she simultaneously unofficially dates three different guys when she knows she shouldn't because she continuously lies to them. Seriously, she'll be on a date with the guy she's supposedly liked forever and she'll text another guy about going on a date later. Really? Ugh. I don't know why these guys liked her. She's also a bit of a bitch, brushing of Reid's problems (as annoying as they might be) but always blabbing her mouth about herself. And she judges people constantly. She'll see someone across the room and decide she doesn't like their face so she doesn't like them. Ugh.

And none of the characters have any depth whatsoever. And there's no character growth. People may say that Riley grew at the end of the novel, but no, she didn't, she was just scared that someone else would call her out for her foolishness so she decided to say it first.
