Laura Dean, the most popular girl in high school, was Frederica Riley's dream girl: charming, confident, and SO cute. There's just one problem: Laura Dean is maybe not the greatest girlfriend.
Reeling from her latest break up, Freddy's best friend, Doodle, introduces her to the Seek-Her, a mysterious medium who leaves Freddy some cryptic parting words: Break up with her. But Laura Dean keeps coming back, and as their relationship spirals further out of her control, Freddy has to wonder if it's really Laura Dean that's the problem. Maybe it's Freddy, who is rapidly losing her friends, including Doodle, who needs her now more than ever. Fortunately for Freddy, there are new friends and the insight of advice columnists like Anna Vice to help her through being a teenager in love.
I thought this book did really well in portraying toxic relationships. You get to see how Frederica grows and start to realize that being in the relationship is doing nothing but bringing her down. Although I did feel that some of the plot threads that was started wasn’t completed or was rushed. An example was surrounding the gay couple. One half didn’t want to come out at his grandmother’s birthday and his boyfriend was mad at him over it. At the end, you don’t really know if it was resolved or not.
