52 Reasons to Hate My Father by Jessica Brody
2.0
Loved the ending! But it didn't seem like a full read to me. The jobs ( a great idea) weren't fleshed out enough and I felt there was more description of the many clubs she went to, and that is Not why I read this book. I feel cheated. Maybe this would be better for other people who probably live the same life as Lex. Also, I felt that Lexington was a total, spoiled brat, 3/4 of the book and that leaves me with 1/4 real entertainment, which is definitely not enough. I had such high hopes for this book, (I've waited months) and I was kinda disappointed. My fav character was definitely not Lex, but Luke. But I did enjoy the description (metaphors?) of the father's coldness like,
"But no matter how long you work at it, how many years you practice, you are never immune to everything. Because you can't predict when the next frost will hit. Or how hard it will bite."
"As much as I want to lie down and let the arctic mist roll right over me, I feel a stabbing sensation in my chest. The icicles have fallen. They've pierced through the skin. It's a direct hit."
