A Girl Called Shameless by Laura Steven
3.0
No major spoilers but read at your own risk
Only three stars because it kind of feels like the author made a few edits before the final hand in and nobody noticed that some characters like the manager and the agent were never introduced by name and only through jokes and nicknames, so when the time came and their name was mentioned we didn’t immediately know who Izzy was talking about and had to figure it out on our own.
Furthermore, I feel like I would have preferred a better insight into several character’s personality, for example Meg. What is she up to? What are her hobbies? Why does Ajita like her? Can we please get more information about Zachary Vaughn’s life? Also, what’s up with Hazel? After they had one scene together where they talked about their shared pain that was it. It seemed like she was only here to further the plot, but in a way that made it hard for the reader to connect with her throughout the book.
But in general: It was absolutely hilarious and the book was great entertainment! The epilogue also answered a question from book one and certain characters didn’t get redemption arcs, but we were given the opportunity to understand them and their actions better in the grand scheme of things.
