jamiereadies 's review for:
The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
by Chelsea Sedoti
**Thanks to the publishers for letting me read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**
Sigh. This book has so many positive reviews that I was optimistic. But I was not very interested in this story at all. The premise sounds interesting, a girl inserts herself into a missing girls life to try and figure out what happened to her? Sign me up. Hawthorne just didn't capture me like she did for a lot of other readers. I never felt like I cared about Lizzie all that much. The most likable character to me was Connor, and he was barely even in the book.
Overall, I found the story forgettable. I wanted it to be so much more, but the idea oversold the book as an exciting mystery, which it wasn't. It was mostly about a confused girl who doesn't know who she is and is scared of her future. Oh and she believes in werewolves.
Give it a go if you're looking for a character-based story driven by interactions and the narrator's voice. If you're looking for an exciting mystery, then this might not be the book for you.
