In the Red by Alexis Hall
2.0
This book was pretty bad - but yet I powered through it in 2 days and never seriously considered not finishing.
I'm not entirely sure Alexis Hall is real. Maybe she is, but I'm not sure I fully believe her diary entries if that's the case. The book gives us a blurb for every day of the year she tries not to needlessly spend, and instead of learning about saving, debt repayment, etc., we learn she's a vapid, spoiled and over indulgent selfish woman.
Plus, where was the editor?! Motorcycles and scooters have ferrings, not farings, who instead of how is a typo, but easily noticed and fixed, and sentences were often missing a word. It's like this book was simply run through a poor version of spell check. Not even grammar check.
For all it's failings though, for some reason I read it all. It was fluffy, and maybe it was what I needed. To feel better that I wasn't as dumb with my money and purchasing as Hall seems to be.
