Piper Perish by Kayla Cagan
1.0
I hate that I didn't love this one - but in January, I was already pretty sure I wouldn't love it.
I think this is a case of a reader and a book - just not destined to get a long. I found the story boring - I keep trying to imagine what I would tell someone the plot is and I think I'll go with "dysfunctional family and the few months before college." I just don't think anything stands out here. Told is a kind of journal format, each "chapter" section is broken out by Month. The story starts in January and runs through August as Piper waits for the answer to college, struggles to like her family, a boyfriend and keep her psycho sister from completely losing it and from Kit throwing yet another tantrum.
I didn't like the characters. That is almost always the way that books and I don't get along. I didn't like Kit or Enzo and I definitely didn't like Marli or Piper. I wish I could say I liked it more.
