52 Reasons to Hate My Father by Jessica Brody
3.0
This is a serviceable, decent book. It's definitely firmly in the "YA" camp, in that it was hard to for me to relate to as a twenty-something, which is not the case with all YA books. Lexi's situation will be hard for most to relate to, unless they have super rich and emotionally unavailable parents. But, hey, there may be some of you out there, and maybe you'll really get taken in on Lexi's journey to being a decent human being.
I liked the characters, the premise was fun (once you got past Lexi's screaming fits), it had a nice message and was written well. There just wasn't anything special or pizzaz-y about it. I won't remember it in the long run, but it filled about 4.5 hours of fun entertainment for the evening, like a mindless comedy movie or really generic chick-flick.
