I liked Molly Barlow right up until I didn’t. Now, I’m not one of those people where cheating in books is a dealbreaker, but I guess I kind of am when someone does it over and over again and never learns not to do it. I felt like Molly got a raw deal when her mother wrote a bestselling book about her Donnelly brother drama and the whole town branded her a whore. But I soon realized that I needed not feel sorry for this girl. She’s selfish and weak and I think she DOES like the attention. The book itself was decent, just the main character is not. (

I 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. (

The main character was hard to root for during most of the book, but I think that makes the narrative so much more special. Many people have gone through a similar path where you’re selfish and hurtful to those around you before changing your ways. Main characters do not have to be likeable to be relatable, and her compelling story about two brothers using her as some sort of trophy to be won (but society only caring about HER actions) was heartbreaking. I absolutely loved the ending! (

I do not like this girl. I do not like that girls are held accountable for behavior when two people are needed to participate. I hate mean girls. (
