so-soI don‘t think I‘ve ever been so frustrated with characters before. I think there‘s always an element of selfishness when we‘re talking about high school characters, but this one was ridiculous. The choices the characters made and hurt they caused each other was ridiculous. A quick read, but I kept waiting for more of an explanation or better choices and it just never happened. I was definitely disappointed.
panWell this was a long and drama filled book. The MC was just awful and made really stupid decisions. I can see why it‘s gotten a lot of low reviews. I‘m glad I didn‘t go into this with high expectations. I mostly finished it just to see how it ended
I don‘t have high hopes for this because I keep seeing low ratings but I told a friend I‘d read it with them 🤷🏻♀️.

I was SO in the mood for this YA romance. Exactly what I had in mind for the weekend. #YA #romance #yaromance #booksandcoffee
panI wasn‘t a fan. I don‘t know if it was the set up of the storyline, or the characters or yes. But suffice it to say not a winner with me.

I don't know if it's because I spend every day surrounded by teenagers who constantly make terrible, selfish decisions, but I had no patience for the main character and her love triangle. I would have absolutely loved this book, though, if it had focused more on her connections with her mother, her boyfriend's mom, and her boss. Because we need more books about teenager girls who have strong, female role models in their lives.

Hated the MC, Molly. Yet because of her character I liked the book.
pickI‘m a big fan of epically poor decision-making, love triangles, and childhood friends to lovers, so this book was tailor-made for me. I flew through it and immediately ordered the sequel. I love the addressing of double standards when it comes to slut-shaming, I love how the ending doesn‘t tie up neatly in a bow. I wish we‘d gotten more resolution to the protagonist‘s horrible mother storyline but that‘s really the only complaint I have. 8/10⭐️

Prompt: Summer Love
The tagged book makes a great beach read and explores summer love and several other interesting topics. I did want to strangle the MC for the way she acted. So immature even when taking her age into account.
Took a brief break from my current read to finish this book for the cramathon! #cramathon don‘t know how I feel about this but it fulfills the a book out of your comfort zone. Who else is participating in the #cramathon?
panOverall not a terrible book. Character development was lacking - as seems to be the trend lately with these books - every character has the same personality, except for the bully who is obviously a bully. The main character puts herself down repeatedly while continuing to do the exact thing she puts herself down for; messing around with two boys - brothers. Storyline was predictable. Blah!
so-soI get the appeal and I‘m going to pick up the companion but it wasn‘t my fave😐😐
so-soIt eventually got... meh. Had to push myself to finish it. There are good parts, just not enough. The characters had me rolling my eyes over and over again.
Finishing today my 2017 ONE LINE A DAY. I got lazy with it during some months, but here‘s to a 2018 where I don‘t slack! And for today, the last day of the year, starting 99 Days! Happy New Year, people of Litsy!✨
so-soThis novel is full of difficult characters. None of the main players are people with whom I‘d want to align myself. They‘re all immature, selfish, & shitty to one another - which made for some hard reading. The dedication reads, “This one‘s for the girls.” It might be. There are important lessons about double-standards & sticking up for yourself. But... (cont‘d in comments below👇🏻):
This book is hard. I have very little tolerance for infidelity. I... trust Katie Cotugno, though. I think? Maybe she‘s about to make me a lot less judge-y? Right now, I just feel frustrated and disappointed... and okay, okay, maybe a little bit angry.
this book looks so cute ! i haven't read it yet though - just adding stuff to my never ending TBR 😶😂🙈
Not really sure how I feel about this one yet but I've heard so many good things about it! #nowreading
I have never had so many conflicting extreme emotions in one book! I'm screaming and swooning every other page!
so-soI have finished the book not too long ago and my take for it, if it were not so well written, I would have put the book down. Molly Barlow comes back after a year her mom published a book about her affairs and everyone is looking at this girl as if she had a big red A on her chest and rightfully so because the bitch cheated again with the same people. But I guess that's how it is not so cliche. I mean it is, but in a way you wouldn't expect it.
so-soWhat a clusterfuck. The whole time I'm cringing like girl get your head outta your ass.
pickDespite hating love triangles, I ended up enjoying this book. Ugh the mistakes and choices Molly made had me cringing and wishing I could give the girl some solid advice.I hated the double standard and hate that girls are always label the slut in these type of situations.
The husband got me these beautiful flowers from the farmers market this morning and I just had to take a pic of them with my current read.
In honor of shark week I'm wearing my awesome shark socks for Sock Sunday. I also picked up some more books from the library today.
pickI really enjoyed this for how messy and true it was, and especially because the ending was so untidy. It was weird to read about a girl named Molly who grew up in a town with a name similar to my own, but I had no complicated drama with hot brothers in HS.
pickThis book was killer! Our emotions can lead us into making some catastrophic decisions! Ones that are completely reckless and selfish- ones that can't be undone. So well written- brutally raw! So glad I finally read it! Love Katie Cotugno!!
Finally reading this! After hearing endless mixed reviews, I kept hesitating! I'm super excited!!
pickThis is not an easy story to digest, but there is a great lesson here in the way of making mistakes and having to deal with the fallout. I cringed over many of the actions in this story, but I love the truth with which they are told.
