"Good Luck, Babe" by Chappell Roan, the good ending.

This is like the book I always wanted to write. But I guess I should still write it because there still aren't enough wlw stories on paper.

I thought this was really a sweet story about initial love and finding out who you are but I really disliked the characters in the story, particularly Sonya and Trenton. I don’t like the way that love is portrayed in some ways, particularly as something that always has elements of harm or hurt. That’s an unhealthy way to describe love, especially to the target audience of this novel which are upper middle/high school aged kids. I didn’t love the ending, because it felt like a cop out. The characters hadn’t changed all that much and they weren’t ready to make the choices they had made — it all felt too sped up. But, Coley and her dad building a relationship out of really negative circumstances was a beautiful plot line.

This book took me a little bit to get into. But after the first 40 pages or so, I got sucked in and transported back to 2015 when the song first came out. This book is all I've ever wanted from that storyline.

Best Seller, Shmest Beller…. this book was….OK.

my main disappointment was that Coley ended up with Sonya, who didn’t really redeem herself AT ALL.

It’s a pretty big angst fest throughout, but I did appreciate how Coley kinda did some work and have some growth.
