A review by lunapuella
How Do You Like Me Now? by Holly Bourne

3.0

I struggled with this one. Holly Bourne can clearly write well, How Do You Like Me Now? is a fast and mostly entertaining read. But Tori was so deeply judgy of every single person she met - even her best friend - that I found it hard to empathise with her. I understand she's a flawed character and we're not always supposed to like her, but there was hardly any character development on this front. The novel ended just as she finally managed to leave her intensely dysfunctional relationship - something the reader has known must happen from pretty much page 1. I wish this had happened halfway through the book and we could have seen her grow from there.
