How to Be a Perfect Girl by Mary Williams
1.0
I try to find something redeeming in every book I read. and I'm usually very good at it. this however is not a book that had any redeeming qualities. it's plot was... horribly mundane interactions of high schoolers of various maturity levels. Val is just as vapid as you are supposed to believe popular girls are... But almost all of her interactions come from boys. mostly boys talking about how hot she is. and we're probably supposed to feel sorry for her, as she experiences sadness and doubt and other crap...
I hate rating a book so low, but if it hadn't been such a simple read, I would have probably given up. it wasn't even enjoyable.
also, the boyfriend who says he loves her on the... third? date.... and then wants to sleep with her on the fourth. In return, she has been lusting over his brother, and promptly decides to get relationshipy with him at the first available moment. and then the book ends. that's it. no more.
I don't blame the author, because it's a big thing to write anything, particularly a series of chapters all heading the same direction... But I really question who would ever publish this, and let it go through editing without ever finding an actual plot.
