One of the worst verse novels I've tried reading. A good message in the end, if you can get through the dull & hard to read book.
I skim read this. Camile's stream of conscience passages with no punctuation or capitals were unreadable. If any thing, I think more unnecessary punctuation & caps with elipses, front changes,l would be more authentic. See Tumblr shit posting lol.
Becca's wasn't much better, just scanned easier. Given she played guitar & sang, I'm surprised more didn't rhyme & flow. Can't say anything about the quality and the poetic emulation but I wasn't a fan overall.
About a third of the book is before the kiss. Not that interesting. Thought about quitting. Then came Becca's crash & the job & getting along w Mom which was alright.
Camile's ~mysteriousness~ about the dude in Chicago & getting away from her parents gave MAJOR SKEVVY VIBES. Thankfully, it turns out to be inoculus.
I wasn't even going to finish it, but the possible revenge plot, the missing money interested me enough. I still skimmed it but I skimmed to the end at least.
It turned out better & more boring than I thought. Impressive 👍
