Book 17 of My Summer Reading Challenge
My rating: 2/5 Stars
**Book provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**
Is that it? That can not be he ending of this book. I feel cheated that the book finishes like that. What is the point in leaving it like that? There is no ending to what happens to the characters, that disappointed me. I wanted to know if they were going to get together.
Anyhow, I never read The DUFF, although I did watch the film so I was not going into this story world completely blind. And I am torn. At the big inning of this book, I quite enjoyed it but then it started to bore me a bit and it just seemed very repetitive and unoriginal. I feel like this sort of story line has been done before and I couldn't help but feel let down for what I was expecting from this book.
This is such an easy read, to get into and it is possible to read in one whole sitting, for me, I sat down to read this book and read a few chapters to get a feel for what it was about and then carry on with it at a later date. However, that did not go to plan and I quickly managed to get about 35% of the way through it before I realised. That shows that I did enjoy the first part of the book.
At about half way through this book, I stopped reading it for a while because I just wanted the end to come. It just seemed very predictable that the girl got with the guy at the end and there will be ocstibles which they will need to get over to get to the finishing line.
The reason why I gave Kepinger 2 stars instead of 1 is because I was actually able to relate to the main character and I saw some of myself in her in the way which she could only talk to Ryder about her problems over IMs because she had no one else. This combined with the easy pace of the book earns 2 stars and definitely no more!
I don't think I will be reading another Hamilton High novel unless absolutely unavoidable (or from sheer boredom).
