Tease by Amanda Maciel

3.0

I feel like there's been a mini-slew of books about like, the beta mean girl, where you see that she's REALLY only a bully because of the alpha mean girl. I kind of want a book about the alpha mean girl.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there, just my wish list.

I liked this--I found Sara to be a compelling character.

However,
SpoilerI was annoyed that Sara's change of heart came SO abruptly and seemed to come based on something a boy she likes said, rather than arriving organically or maybe actually inspired by something Emma or Emma's family said or did? EH

But I did still like Sara's final speech and I think the message that people aren't always as strong as they appear to be is a really true and important one.


I think it will appeal a lot to fans of [b:Thirteen Reasons Why|1217100|Thirteen Reasons Why|Jay Asher|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333822506s/1217100.jpg|2588213] etc. Language and sexual content are not particularly tween-appropriate.
