I actually enjoyed this book more than I expected. There was a bit of instalove and some of Gia's actions didn't make a lot of sense. My favourite part of the book was Gia's friendship with Bec.

I have to give West some props - her writing is so fluid that it's easy to get through her books. The plots? Well, that's a different story.
This book felt like she took a dartboard and aimed to see what cliche she'd include in the next chapter.

Yet another book by Kasie West that I adored. My heart went squish. I loved the character of Gia and her growth throughout the story. One I can't wait to share with students!

It was good, but not exceptional. I liked it but I liked Kasie West’s On The Fence a lot more. I felt like I could relate to Charlie a lot more than I could to Gia. I also listened to this book, and it was my first time listening to a book in, like, forever. I hated Spencer, Jules and Eve.

Guys............Why do I do this?
Why do I, when I have been moving away from fluffy, YA contemporaries, and even, in some ways, YA in general, do I pick up a book I know is going to be nothing but utterly mindless frivolity?
I will tell you why:
1. My Random Number Generator told me to. This book was on my TBR, RNG picked it, so I read it.
2. Last year, the RNG also chose two other Kasie West books and they actually impressed me. I enjoyed them so much more than I thought I would, and it was those books that made me continue with Kasie West as an author.
But this one...not so much. I should have heeded the warnings I saw in the Goodreads reviews. I should have backed away slowly from the ridiculou, petty, mean girl bullshit that was the foundation of this story, but alas I proceeded.
Okay, I admit I am being a tad overdramatic. Overall, I actually thought this story was pretty cute. And, as every Kasie West book, there is something deeper hidden within the actual plot of the story. So, I mostly enjoyed it.
But I want so much more out of the stories I consume this is yet another I will set down, and probably mever think of again.
I won't think of the characters (which is good because aside from Hayden and his sister, the characters were garbage). I won't swoon over the relationship. None of that will happen. And when that doesn't happen, I can't say this was a worthwhile read.
Seriously y'all....I need to go find a book that is going to rip my hart out, through it on the ground, set it on fire, and feed it to a hoard of hungry zombies, because I need to read something that is going to make me feel more then anger and aggravation.

How is selfworth measured today? By the amount of likes a post gets, by how many friends we collect, by how many retweets we accumulate? Do we even know what we really think until we post our thoughts online and let others tell us if they are worthy?
