Dear Sweet Pea by Julie Murphy
2.0
I'm honestly scared to read the other books in this series because of this.
First of all, oh my god. Hire a focking editor. I can't tell you how many times I caught bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation in this. Like this one sentence, where the characters were supposed to say "Do you want us to call your mom or your dad?" or something like that. But the sentence ended up being "Do you want us to call your mom or YOU dad?"
Another thing I hated about this book was how lazy the author got with the characters names. First we have Patrica, focking "Sweet Pea" which makes me think of a lotion from Bath & Body Works. Then her best friend, Oscar, has the last name of Mayer. A FOCKING MEAT COMPANY.
So I've just called this book "Lotion Girl and Meat Boy."
Lastly, this book switched from present tense to past tense when they were talking about things that were currently happening.
