Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles

4.0

This is a new adult book that was published a little while ago, and it features the trope of the young freshman girl starting at university, hoping to re-invent herself. Some of the other reviews are a little harsh. Sure, it doesn’t feature anything new to this trope, but it was originally published in 2014, back when this trope hadn’t been beaten over the head like a dead horse quite so much. That said, if you like the trope, (like I do!) you’ll enjoy the book. I love a heroine who has scars on the outside as well as the inside, and Brax also makes for a damaged and intriguing hero. I do wish the book had been a little longer, so we could have seen his backstory a little more fleshed out.
All in all, this is an entertaining read with a great blend of angst and hopefulness that kept me turning the pages.
