This was a fairly good book, but I think it could have benefited from being a little shorter, for starters. The previous book by the author that I read, "Something Maybe," was nice because it didn't overextend its cute and original premise. This one sort of fell into a bit of a "plot loop" with the same worries, conflicts, and events being rehashed far too much. Kate's life isn't going too well at the moment. She's had a falling out with her best friend, and doesn't really understand why. Her father has spontaneously quit his job to sell vitamins at the mall. Her overbearing grandmother is moving in with them. And Will, whom she simultaneously hates and is attracted to, won't leave her alone. Each of these problems walks its own slow path to resolution, some with decent development, others less so. The changing family relationships were well done, I thought; fairly realistic and not too angsty. I also came to like the grandmother character after a while. Unfortunately, the personal problems of Kate herself were not quite as well handled. Her problems with her friend Anna began in a promising manner, but dragged on in circles for too long. However, I could still understand her reasons for feeling the way she did about their collapsing friendship. Kate's problems with her father and his new job also started out amusing and original, but in the end she seemed to be repeating the same tired litany too often. After a while, the "I hate my life" tone started cropping up a bit too much for comfort, pushing the narration into the whiny even though Kate realizes her mistakes in the end. The romance with Will was cute but with some bumps in development. I never really understood Kate's mindset about the whole thing; she seemed a bit dense and overreactive when it came to a lot of things, and I found myself feeling sorry for the guy a lot. In the end, all was resolved well, but the journey to get there could probably have been shortened. It would have helped with the feeling of "Okay, I'm done" I started to get towards the end. Not one of the better Elizabeth Scott books that I have read. The main character Kate was whiny and annoying, her parents were just as annoying. I did enjoy the book, though I skipped the paragraph whenever Kate started with her "nobody cares about how HARD my life is" stuff. Kate's world seems to center around the fact that her old best friend will no longer speak to her and seems to look right through her, and to top it all off, Kate has to work at the mall helping her father "try to" sell Perfect You vitamins. Things slowly go downhill for Kate, and her parents end up splitting up, and her mom, grandmother and she all move into an apartment after they have to sell the house. The only good thing that came out of it all was that Kate finally started standing up for herself and let people know what she was thinking instead of just keeping it all inside. There of course was a love interest and that came in the form of Will, Kate's classmate, and crush. Will seems to annoy Kate a lot and while I saw it as him flirting, Kate didn't see it till the end of the book when he explained it to her. March 2019: I don't know why I bothered. My feelings haven't changed about this book, and I found Kate's father even more frustrating and childish than I did in 2010. April 2010: This was okay, but I found most of the main characters rather irritating, especially Kate and her father. The book was too clique and depressing for me to really enjoy it, but I think it will be popular with its intended audience. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
High school sophomore Kate Brown spends her afternoons at the mall helping her dad sell vitamins, wishing her best friend Anna would stop being a popular snob, and is not sure how to act when Will--a gorgeous classmate but a total player--seems to be interested in her.
