Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger
3.0
Let's start by saying I ADORED The Duff. In fact, if I remember correctly, I devoured it in less than 24 hours.
Meanwhile, something felt a bit off with Lying Out Loud. I felt like it was missing the spark and the hilarious snarkiness that made it's companion book such a good book in the first place. Even Wesley and Bianca, who made a couple of appearances here and there, felt flat and boring in this installement. I don't know, it wasn't horrible, but I expected more from Kody Keplinger having read and loved some of her other work.
Also, Sonny was so mean to Amy at moments, I wanted to smack her so bad! I know it was a part of her fatal flaw to overcome in the story, but it still infuriated me a lot. Let's just say that the fact that I didn't connect with the main character didn't really improve my reading experience.
And the ending, GOD, WHAT WAS THAT? Why did you need to pull a Rainbow Rowell on us Kody??
Overall, I don't regret reading this book, but I don't think I will ever re-read it in the future.
