Emily's Reasons Why Not by Carrie Gerlach

2.0

Meh. The writing style was off-putting: short pointless sentences, no sense of flow, random sudden time and setting shifts. The side characters, even the major one, had no life of their own; their only point was to act as chorus to inform the main character's inner monologue. It's a very self-centered book, overall. This is basically trying to be a self-help book, but the author either didn't have the confidence or didn't have the credentials to write one of those, so she basically fictionalized He's Just Not That into You based heavily, obviously, on her own (limited) experiences. This would probably have been a better book if she wrote it 10-15 years later, when her own story was over.
