This book was a chore for me. The only reason I forced myself to finish it was because it was a book club read.
If you enjoy the stereotypical YA troupe of “a nobody discovers she isn’t who she thought she was” then you might appreciate it more than I did. It’s not even really the troupe, if done right those books can be awesome. It’s more the entire story was boring and predicable. Like a copy and paste over done plot.
The main character was a spoiled arrogant brat, maybe it was supposed to be self assured confidence but it came of as me, me, me. It seemed like an adult wrote a YA book how adults view YA characters, not how YA characters view themselves. Her parents were jarring personalities, and a lot of the facts felt forced. The character growth was choppy at best so when it did happen it was a blink and they were a new rediscovered person. There were so many story issues for me, I just couldn’t get into the book.
One of the saving features was that there wasn’t any romance, thank goodness the two MCs didn’t go that direction.
