sad medium-paced

2.0

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Lauren Oliver has never been bullied. Not really. I get what she was trying to do, but I felt very little sympathy for Sam and her friends. They TORTURED people for years with zero remorse in order to feel better about themselves. There was no character growth, not really. Sam didn't learn anything. Neither did Lindsey. Lindsey will go on being a horrible person that treats other people like garbage, and Juliet will still have all of her problems. Sam didn't do anything to change anything. 

I'm so angry at this book.

I really shouldn't have read this as a not young adult. Very teen. I had higher expectations considering how popular this book was. I do think it got better toward the end.
