Confessions of a High School Disaster by Emma Chastain
4.0
This book surprised me so much. I adore stories written in diary entries and especially if they are set in high school where the drama never ends.
I so rarely read ya contemporaries that whenever I get the chance to read one it's such a delightful way to take my mind off of the real world and have a good time.
I have to be honest though, in the first few pages I was questioning my choices because the beginning of this book and Choe's inner voice sounded very immature and I immediately thought this book would be very childish and I wouldn't be able to relate to it at all. Thank god I was wrong, of course this book was at least a bit immature but that's completely relevant concidering it's written from a perspective of a fifteen-year-old.
Chloe really surprised me actually and I fell in love with her. She was hilarious, so sarcastic and her inner monologue was sassy and amazing. She was so relatable and her experiences brought me right back to when I was a freshmen. Mac, Hannah, Tris, her mom and dad, all of these characters affected Chloe every day. Some of them were amazing and some not so much.
Mac was a total asshole and Chloe's mom was horrible. Her dad though was amazing and I absolutely adored Tristan. The jury still stands on Hannah but....
I really appreciated how real this book was. It was exactly on point with how a teenager feels during that time of their life, it was humorous and clever but also dealt with deeper more serious situations.
Chloe went through a lot in her first year of high school but she got out and I cannot wait to read more about her, her family, friends and even more so about her love life and all the drama.
