Forget This Ever Happened by Cassandra Rose Clarke
3.0
I liked the book, however, I think it could have been better if it focused a little more on the monsters instead of the almost day to day life of Claire and Julie. I was expecting something more with the monsters, I was actually hoping Claire and Julie would team up with one of them and embark on a great adventure.
Also, it probably would have been more believable if they were younger, I couldn't imagine at 17 years old hanging out with someone because my grandmother told me to, I have a teenage daughter and one of the first things that I teach her is to follow her instincts and if she gets a creepy feeling about someone to stay away from them. It would have been more believable if they were around 13 or 14, but Claire had a creepy feeling about Audrey from the beginning and still hung out with her because her grandmother told her too, it seemed a little far-fetched.
The monster aspect was really good and it would have been great if they took a more active part in the book.
All in all, a cute story.
