Bad Hair Day by Carrie Harris
3.0
If you liked the first book in this series, Bad Taste in Boys, you’ll most likely enjoy Bad Hair Day. That’s because this is a very similar adventure featuring the same characters and same silly sense of humor. The action speeds along, and there are plenty of jokes along the way. Granted, many of those jokes are groaners, like when Kate’s friend is informed that her boyfriend is a werewolf and she replies with consternation that she’s Team Edward. Yeah, that happened.
My only real issue with Bad Hair Day is the main character, Kate. I didn’t mind her so much in the first book, but in this one her personality got on my nerves. She constantly refers to geeking out about medical stuff, which is fine, but it came on a bit hard. More so, though, was my frustration with the way she treats other people. She’s constantly rude to those trying to help her, and it really didn’t endear me to her character. The only point she earned was in giving her boyfriend an ultimatum when a female friend got too touchy with him, and she didn’t cave, so there’s that.
As for the plot, there are no big surprises here, but it is fun to see how things unfold. Harris manages to give a pseudo-scientific explanation for the werewolves, although readers will need to suspend disbelief. Bad Hair Day isn’t a big revelation of a book, but it is good fun and I enjoyed it.
