THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! i wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as i did - i genuinely thought it'd just be any other easy-to-read YA, and having read and relatively enjoyed the duff, i figured that this wouldn't disappoint.
this truly surpassed all expectations. i had such a good time being inside sonny's head and seeing everything develop (and spiral - i lived for the drama). her character was super fun, super witty and though a bit abrasive, sonny remained a likeable and relatable protagonist. i really liked the characters of amy and ryder, though i wish they had been developed further - they just didn't feel fully fleshed out and as i felt their relationships to be integral to sonny's character, i would have liked to see a bit more; especially with ryder, in that i wanted to understand why he seemed so distinctly normal in his online conversations, and so posh, pretentious and all-round jackass in person. i also wanted more of amy just because she is a precious snowflake.
some more background and development on sonny's relationship with her dad would've been great as well.
