francescak 's review for:
Any Other Girl
by Rebecca Phillips
*I receive a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
This was my first book by Rebecca Phillips, and I was pleasantly surprised. Truth be told, I picked up this book several weeks ago and only read about 10 percent before putting it back down. At the beginning, Kat came across as self-absorbed and superficial. I mean how could you blatantly come on to your best friend’s boyfriend and not really get why she was upset? The excuse of “this is just the way I am” is pretty lame. Granted, said best friend completely overreacted but still. I was hoping for an MC that had a little more depth and was disappointed because Kat clearly lacked that.
However, several weeks past and I found myself in a bit of a reading slump. So I decided to pick this back up again and I’m glad I did. What I failed to realize initially is there’s a reason Phillips makes Kat act the way she did as she completely transforms in the book. It was great to see Kat grow and be comfortable in her own skin and to realize that there are consequences for how someone acts.
I enjoyed reading about her and Harper’s relationship and how close they were. I also liked the romance between Kat and Emmett. This turned out to be a good YA romance and I’m interested in seeing what else Phillips has written.
