The Girl Least Likely by Katy Loutzenhiser
4.0
Audio ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Wow, The Girl Least Likely. Did Katy Loutzenhiser hop inside my brain and bring all of my high school memories, and fantasies to life? Yes, she must have.
The book focuses on Gretchen an easily loveable girl who just hasn’t found her place yet. She is the youngest of three which I don’t totally understand being an only child but I get the impression she’s on the outside looking in a lot. Then she finds stand up and it’s just perfect for her, even in the case of stolen identity.
There are plenty of teenage moments that will bring you back to your own memories to either cringe or laugh along with. It was also really nice to have a YA novel where our lead isn’t just obsessed with sex the romance was there but so were the genuine relationships Gretchen has, builds, and forms through the book overall.
Overall, it’s a great coming of age story that thinks out of the box in regards to the typical YA romance genre and truly allows the character development that many of these stories can be lacking.
