The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
by Chelsea Sedoti
First let me say that this book was very different from what I thought it was going to be like or what the summery had sounded like.
I will say that I didn't hate this book or even dislike it, but I definitely had issues with it.
I guess my main problem was with the main character, and not for the reason some people seem to have. I didn't mind that she was kind of a quirky, weird, original character with a wild imagination. But I did mind that she was so obsessed with every aspect of Lizzie Lovett, that she could hardly think about something without thinking about Lizzie or comparing herself or the situation to Lizzie. It was just so frustrating how much focused she was on Lizzie in every section of this book, either in hate or intrigue or envy. I also found it weird and unbelievable that she had become so attached to her toward the end of the book, without hardly knowing her.
My second issue with Hawthorn was that she never listened to the people who love her. She is constantly ignoring their warnings over and over and over again, even though they are all saying the same thing. She is was so reckless that she puts herself in a couple of bad situation and makes several bad decisions, like spending time alone or getting involved with a much older guy who she knew almost nothing about.
I didn't really care for Enzo and his relationship with Hawthorn made me uncomfortable. I just didn't love his character. I did like Hawthorn's parents, her brother, Emily, Sundog, and Connor. I really wish she had listened to them.
