kimanguish 's review for:
Scammer
by Caroline Calloway
medium-paced
can't believe i spent $25 on this two years ago and when i finally got it, i hated it!
for those who are well versed in the CC universe, there is very little new material here. in fact, any new material is mainly comments about how someday she'll write about something new in her next book. probably 15% of this book was promotion for the next one. it drove me crazy!
she also spends a good amount of time claiming that natalie is obsessed with her and the only way she'll ever succeed is off her coattails, but then she just spends page after page after page obsessing over natalie. and some of this makes sense, when she's in the past where they were writing the book proposal together or sitting in class, but when she's writing about the present it's just uncomfortable. and i'm sorry, saying that she hooked up with a pudgy guy who looked exactly like natalie now? because she has a cute little potbelly and a pixie cut? come on.
i can't imagine what all the positive reviewers who CC has been blasting on her ig even saw in this book. beautifully written? tipping over into brilliance?? did we read the same book???
