All I've Never Wanted by Ana Huang
1.0
I was warned.
By the 3rd f word (all within like 2 chapters), I was persuaded.
As many are probably already aware, this is *supposed* to be an American retelling of Boys Over Flowers.
Put this book down and go watch the kdrama.
I'm not too stereotypical, but as an American, I feel justified in saying, man, Americans really mess things up sometimes.
This book pretty much reads as any other angsty teenage book with a heavy-handed dose of "teenage" words and actions, without the quality focus on bullying, confidence, and Gu Jun-Pyo awesomeness found in Boys Over Flowers.
Really, don't bother.
Here's me going to look for the manga of BOF to try to forget this attempt...
BUT. Sidenote: The cover's awesome. *applause*
