DNF'ing at 32%

Right from the start, I struggled to get into the story, and it just got worse and worse and worse for me. I couldn't handle reading about Scarlett going for a douchebag and blaming her own (really nice) sister for stealing his attention even when her sister actively tried to dissuade him. I think it does teenagers a massive discredit to make Scarlett "boy crazy" to this extent.

By the way, I did a Twitter poll asking how people would react if a guy they were interested in only showed interest in their uninterested sister, and 0% said they would blame their sister. Because, ya know, that sounds a lot like blaming the victim.

It didn't help that the author was clearly trying to push grief into the story, but I couldn't feel any of it. It sounds terrible, but I couldn't bring myself to care.

This is such a shame, as I was genuinely hoping to like the book. I actively requested it on Netgalley; this wasn't me agreeing to someone's review request. But alas, an interesting concept but not an execution I could enjoy.

I requested a review copy in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher for the chance.
