Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy
1.0
This book was certainly not my favorite. This was probably due to the combination of the fact that I had just read an AMAZING book before it, I had really high expectations for it, and it was nothing like how I expected or wanted.
The main flaw present in the book that really turned me off was the characters. They were annoying, desperate, and whiny, and were not enjoyable to read about, nor was I interested in anything that happened to them. The main character (Alice) is annoying and mean and just can't seem to be anything otherwise, even when leukemia flips her life upside down and then right back up. Harvey, the other main character, is painted as desperate and ignorant, especially in his foolhardy love for Alice.
The story was written out of order, which was confusing and there didn't seem to be a particular reason why it was written in such a way. The book dragged on and on and didn't even end on a very satisfying note.
