oonareads 's review for:
The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
by Chelsea Sedoti
This book was basically kind of boring plus I had a couple issues with it, though nothing major. Hawthorn (the main character) was also kind of plain.
Firstly, what kind of 17-year-old doesn't charge their phone, and "usually doesn't have it with her". I found that completely unrealistic. Even if she was an "outsider", and people didn't call her at all, every single teen has their phone charged and with them. That probably bothered me the most.
Then, there as the whole werewolf thing like what?? The main character thinks that some other girl that used to go to her high school, who has disappeared, had turned into a werewolf. (This book is completely contemporary YA, okay?) I didn't really understand that plot point at all?
And then, Hawthorn basically gets together with the boyfriend of the missing girl... who is like twenty-five, which is gross both because of the age thing and the missing girl was gone for like only a few months. At one point it seemed like Hawthorn started to question what the hell she was doing, but then she started to hangout with the boyfriend again, ugh so frustrating.
Hawthorn and her "best friend" didn't really seem like friends, because they basically ignored what the other person was saying and didn't do anything together except talk at school. That sounds more like an acquaintance than best friend to me.
As for the one sex scene (which wasn't described at all just mentioned), there's not supposed to be blood EVER, when you have sex, not even on the first time. When is this myth gonna go away?? But I did like, how it was described as kind of awkward, and neither amazing or terrible.
The one character I liked was this weird hippie dude that lived in Hawthorn's backyard and always said some random inspirational quotes.
But overall, kind of meh, didn't really leave me with anything.
