Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine
1.0

I really thought this was going to be a fantastic book based on the first few minutes of reading. I enjoyed the snarkiness of the main character and the crisp, punchy prose. I even enjoyed the concept behind the pet library, which is a completely hilarious concept and where I think the story should have stayed.

Then, the character turned into a completely reprehensible human being. Worse than Machiavellian, not even a character you love to hate, just a character you want to punch in the face as you read on about her sucking the life (and money) out of everyone she meets. And it ended by completely falling on its face, which I guess makes as much sense as the complete lack of plot.

If you're really into reading about awful human beings with zero depth, then this book will be right up your alley.
