Her best friend has become popular and ever since that occurred, she acts as if Kate is invisible. The book revolves around Kate who works with her father selling Vitamins in the mall. Anyway, this book is one of the explanations on why I'm not a big fan of contemporary YA romance books. I'm not going to gather up the energy to do an actual review because I read this – truly, I can't remember when I picked this up. It had love-hate banter and insults and fuzzy feelings and realness and funny and finding yourself all in the same book.ĭefinitely my favorite so far by this author. Elizabeth somehow managed to channel my angsty highschool self perfectly and I just effing loved every second of this. So many contemporaries are funny-but-not-real or real-but-not-funny and this book was both. Because it was such a good book and I couldn't stop. And there were parts I wanted to punch Kate in the face because she was so in denial/naive/meek around Will and her idiot dad and her lazya$$ brother. Honestly parts of this book felt so real they hurt (family issues). And damn it, that sad world sucked me in and made me feel things. I don't do sad contemporaries and the only thing that kept me reading was the writing style (first-person sarcastic and hilarious) and then drool-worthy Will.Īnd then I just kept reading and it got really good. I almost DNF'd this book in the first 30 pages because it was depressing and the protagonist was so passive and unwilling to stand up to her family (a big pet peeve of mine).
