Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills

2.0

I was prepared to like this book, but it never really felt like it got off the ground for me. It's a great case-study in friendship, but it never felt like much of anything happened. And then everything sort of wrapped up too quickly at the end. So, maybe the pacing just needed to be evened out? There also felt like there were too many characters; it was hard to care about them without really ever getting to know them. Like Brit, I have no idea who she is, but I was supposed to care about her reaction to her brother's injury, which had an entire backstory I feel like i didn't really understand. Also: do I like August? I'm pretty sure I don't. He's a dick for MOST of the book. And Megan? WTF. That whole storyline was WEIRD. And wrapped up completely absurdly.
