This was a DNF for me. I'm sorry but I tried. I just couldn't get into it. And trust me I really worked to at least get to the second chapter. To be honest, I really did think that this was going to be a good book. The blurb reeled me in and it didn't start off awkwardly. Or I guess I should say TOO awkwardly. Plus it came with such great reviews that I was like 'whoa baby!'. Then I started to read...
I hated how the author wrote Elle and Chloe's character. I hate to judge, but I thought they were way too weak for my taste. Sure it's okay too be afraid to be bullied again or whatever, but they took it overboard. she mad them look weak AND stupid. And trust me, I should know. I was bullied.
I didn't finish it and I'm sure those "popular" girls could have been meaner, but I seriously don't know what Elle and Chloe had to be afraid about. Elle gets squirted with paint and Chloe gets almost dumped with food. I get it, scary. But I mean I felt like those rich girls were just as weak and no stupid as them. they weren't mean or scary. Trust me, I've seen scarier and meaner. It was just how you perceive it. I just couldn't see Elle as this innocent sweet girl that I think the author wanted us to see.
I probably sound insensitive, but I can't help it. I just didn't like how super weak they sounded. and I've read bully stories before, this one just didn't cut it.
so read it, I dare you.
