I am really glad I finished with the book. I didn't really like the characters (they mostly annoyed me) and the story was quite boring. I had hoped for more improvement as the story went on, but sadly, nope. :(

This book found me by chance while I was looking for another book by the same name. I’m glad that I got to read the story of Jill and Mandy and all the people in their lives...

Reading it was a little slow for me. Mostly because it goes back and forth between two people telling the story. I liked the story, plot and ending. I would recommend it to others.

YA fiction at its best! The story was interesting, the characters were well-developed, I loved everything about this book.

This book was a little bit predictable, I mean, you know how it will end since like.... let's say the middle, but it still is a lovely story and I really enjoyed reading it. Sometimes I had to look back at the beginning of a chapter to see whose side of the story is it at the moment, but I think the author did that pretty well, I read other books that were from someone else's point of view with every chapter and they weren't nearly as good as this.

I loved this book, I adored the characters and the story. Although predictible I found it vastly entertaining and thought-provoking. It would have been 5 stars, but I felt that the ending was rushed and I wasn't quite ready to let go of The MacSweeney's yet.
