ironi's review
1.0
When I read TDG, I was a young 12 year old. Suffice to say, my relationship history was nonexistent and I was not in high school. Reading that book back then, made me think that's what high school would be like.
So when I realized there's a sequel, I had to read it. I didn't expect some work of literary art, I just wanted to feel some closure. I don't believe in leaving series unfinished.
To what grade is this book aimed? As a pre-teen, this series deceived me into believing my high school years would be filled up with dramatic relationships and crushes. As a teen, now, I find this series so incredibly dumb and unrealistic. I doubt anyone above the age of 20 would even consider reading this series. What's the point of a series that talks about high school but seems to be aimed at a younger audience?
I don't know how to even begin to list my problems with this book. Holly dumps Rob for no real reason and then wants to get back with him because she gets jealous. Lina literally pretends to be a different person online and has an Internet relationship with her teacher. I really can't. It's so stupid, immature, and unrealistic.
The dialogues make no sense, the plot is so obvious, the writing is dull. I don't even want to think about the lessons a teen girl is supposed to take from this (change yourself to get the man? Deceive your teachers?)
Just do yourself a favor and don't read this. I suspect I lost IQ points.
