pelicanfreak 's review for:

2.0

Very recycled plot—”I bet you can’t get a date with ___.” That said, I liked the PCOS rep and decided to hang in there. It was decent, I was just thinking this was a 4-star read and about to look into everything else this author has written when … “it” happened. A major, book-ruining, continuity issue occurred.

As already stated, this book was centered around a bet … nearly right when it opened the terms of the bet were laid out and then they were described in this way throughout the novel … until they weren’t and all of a sudden, AFTER the bet was over and original terms were once again, discussed, the bet was suddenly being referred to as an entirely different bet. Obviously this is lazy writing, it’s poor writing and it demonstrates that the author has no care for the quality of work they produce so, ended up being very disappointed. Definitely no longer have a need to read more of this author, which is a shame since they had that ‘disability representation’ going on and a relatable female lead. So frustrating.

High school setting.
Curvy female lead.
PCOS representation.
Bullying.
Body-shaming.

Do not recommend unless you don’t care about continuity.
2 stars for “disappointing”.
