My Best Friend, Maybe by Caela Carter

2.0

So... it wasn't entirely pointless.

Collette and Sadie's friendship was weird and all over the place - and you'll forgive me for thinking for the entire 2/3 of the book that they were going to end up together? No? Oh well. One minute Collette is fretting over the fact that her relationship with Sadie is so shaky and difficult and it's definitely over this time for good and the next they'll be giggling like best friends. Whaaa.. Oh okay. The rest of the romances I really did not care for (I did end up skimming the last 20 or so pages thanks to Collette/Sam, and was I really supposed to root for Rose/Sadie? They were both so catty and immature and mean at times (don't gimme that suprise-i'm-actually-nice bs, Rose).) The dialogue was - and maybe it's just me - confusing and it felt like it was done that way on purpose so that the story dragged on and nothing ever got resolved. The plot itself could have been resolved within, like, a chapter and wasn't worth the almost 400 pages it took to unravel. Honestly.

And Sadie. That girl. Ohmygod. I don't begrudge her the 3+ years before the book began that she spent avoiding Collette, because coming to terms with your sexuality is hard and not as simple as you might think. And she had a pretty damn good reason not to want to ever go to her house again, let's be honest. But oh man - the rest of the book. There was little to no reason for any of that. Collette took about 2.5 seconds to become cool with it and the rest was Sadie creating needless drama because I don't even know why. Sweetie, stop.

It was enjoyable and quick to get through but it wasn't spectacular and the plot was really lacking. Maybe it just wasn't for me.
