Ninth Grade Slays by Z Brewer

2.0

Frankly, I don't know why I keep reading these when they're just so poorly-written, but I guess sometimes you just need something to turn off your brain.

The author kept using "bemused" despite clearly not understanding that it actually means confused, can't write humour to save her life, doesn't understand how to make a love interest appealing or interesting in the slightest (The main character's crush, Meredith, is "pretty" -- that's pretty much all there is to her), and I don't think she's spoken to an actual teenager in decades, judging by how off the voices of her main characters are.

And yet I find myself still slightly intrigued by the story, hence the 2 star rating rather than the 1 star it probably deserves. I'll likely end up reading the next book despite myself, damn it all.
