Those Girls

Full Review on my blog!

I knew this was going to be like a Gossip Girl type book where 'frenemies' existed.  There are three main characters, therefore the author chose to make each chapter a different POV....which was soooo hard to follow... I feel like the author didn't execute the chapter POVs, well...

The characters themselves were annoying and whiny... there were times I just wanted to jump in the book and slap them; I hated them all... ahh well, except for Alex, I actually liked reading her parts of the book. Alex seemed the most normal and genuine. She joined a band, realized she loved singing and wasn't so obsessed with the same interests like the other girls. At one point, Alex actually turned down going to a party just to stay home and read... IKR... I was impressed.. haha

 It was slow and annoying at times, but I'll be honest.. I did kinda like it.. Entertaining up until a certain point... soooo I guess not a complete waste and deserving of some stars. And the writing was okay...I mean, reading the word “whorebox” in a book is just sooo fucking hilarious.
