A review by nineofthirteen
Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger

3.0

This was great (Wesley Rush, seriously) until I got to the ending and I didn't I got to the ending because there were like two pages left but then I realized its the ending and the pages left were acknowledgments.

I HATE IT WHEN BOOKS DOES THAT.

But honestly, this is a great companion without that seriously nerve-wrecking ending. I was really disappointed at the unresolved conflict with the two protagonists. And I had to say that it was written well because both the protagonists weren't exactly likable and even with that I could get past it and actually root for them.

It was humorous and deal with serious problems instead of juvenile ones and I liked that about it. All in all it was well rounded and a page flipper except for the less than gratifying ending.

Loved Wesley & Bianca in it by the way, I just had to add that in because seriously I love their interactions so much. Certainly up the rating of this book for me. Wouldn't think anyone would pick it up if they didn't read The DUFF, and I think it will be worse if they didn't. The fun parts are the cameos from Kody Keplinger's other books. As a standalone, it's great but lack the wow-factor.
