Stalk Me. (Keatyn Chronicles)

While this book isn't good, it's not bad either. It's both a quick and easy read while also being the most horrendous this this year so far. Keatyn is pretty, popular, rich and the daughter of a not too motherly actress. Her character, if anything, is the biggest Mary Sue-like character I've read in a good while. Bad things happen to her, and then they're immediately fixed. I could not bring myself to like her at all.

This is meant to be similar to Gossip Girl, which I can see comparisons. However, GG works because it's narratives alternate. You get all the drama through various characters so you're not overwhelmed by everything. STALK ME, however shoves all that drama into one little character... And she doesn't grow too much from it. Keatyn is not so different than she is on page one. I found very little growth to her and that might have been the most irrating thing about her.

Also, I felt like this book tried too hard to have too much stuff inside of it. By the ending, I felt like I had read anywhere from 2-4 books crammed into one while being emotionless and dull. You can't care too much for her and the problems because she's always jumping to the next thing... Or boy. And most of the twists and what not where overly predictable.

I might return to the next ones if I can get them for free and have a few hours to spare. Until then, goodbye.
