bethestage's review against another edition
3.0
It's a nice quick read but I struggled with liking the main character so that was a bummer. It was a good premise, but sort of fizzled in the delivery. It read a little bit like fanfic. Not bad, just nothing spectacular. I think this author has potential though, I'd give her another try.

I received this book for a honest review! Thanks! :)
I know that the idea of this book is not original, but I wanted something easy to read, a cute story with nice characters, a not so twisted and rollercoaster plot - so I started this.
It was a nice, easy and short read, and kind of a mouth of fresh air. I think that is because of the writing style, you go so fast in the story and you feel the emotions, and you can easily sympathize with the characters. And even if this is a short book it wasn't rushed, or this is my opinion.
For what this book is - a romance, an easy read and with a little bit of moral, because Anna discovers that is not so easy to make money and survive, and leave by yourself, it was good. If you want something fast, short, sweet, then you can read this. If you want something more deep or powerful, then I advise you to try something else.
As I was saying I enjoyed the story and I liked the characters too, Anna and Gavin are nice, not amazing, but good, and they make a nice couple. This books is nice, but just nice, not amazing, special, deep or whatever, is just a summer read, an easy book, something that you can read fast, enjoy and all that.
So, if you want a book like this then grab it.

This was a short read with an interesting premise. I loved the idea of the main character going from riches to rags and discovering her self along the way. Although there were some cute moments, I think the length of the story didn’t allow me to form enough of a connection to the main characters.
Anna had a lot of growth during the novel. I liked how she changed for the better. It would’ve been interesting to read more about what she was like before her mom left. I think it could’ve helped to better understand what she was going through. If the book started at an earlier point, it would have made me understand her relationship with Steven and why she was torn up about potentially ending things with him.
Gavin was a cutie and I definitely loved him as a potential love interest (he’s a kindergarten teacher, such a swoony job). My favorite parts of the book were Anna’s run ins with Gavin and how much he flustered her. Anna’s budding friendships with Bianca and Natalie was also a strong plot point.
Overall, I liked One Broke Girl, but would’ve preferred more conflict and development. I think this book is the start of the series, so hopefully future books will let readers get to know the characters better.
Rating: 3/5 Stars
I received a complimentary copy of One Broke Girl for review.
