The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove: First Edition by Lauren Kate

2.0

I don’t even know where to start with this book...
at the beginning, I hated Natalie. At the end, I hated Natalie, but I also felt bad for her.
The person I really felt bad for, J.B. He got the raw end of the deal here, some of it was his fault, but he deserved better.
Also, can authors stop writing girls in high school this way? No one was ever like this in high school... like ever.
Seriously, the epilogue, the f**king epilogue, is what bumped this up one more star:
“Once, you imagined you can be anyone you wanted to be. That you could make the right guy love you and rescue from your fate. That you could outsmart everyone and leave your past behind for good. How hard you worked for what you wanted. How cruelly fate betrayed you in the end.”
That’s some truth right there.
