I liked Marnie and the other girls at the camp, too. My problem really was just how crazy over-the-top it was, but I can see how it would appeal to others. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm disappointed that you didn't like it... what a waste of a good plot line. At least you saved me some time from reading it! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036463404379487835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-637404420530201182014-02-05T13:13:06.240-05:002014-02-05T13:13:06.240-05:00I'm sorry this one wasn't for you,Natalie....I'm sorry this one wasn't for you,Natalie. But, like you said the cover kinda grabs you and I could easily see myself asking for it even though I don't read very many contemporaries. Great review Natalie. :)Book Swoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065445455788158131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-36107426517899117942014-02-05T12:58:39.044-05:002014-02-05T12:58:39.044-05:00Aww, it's too bad you didn't like it as mu...Aww, it's too bad you didn't like it as much as you hoped. I thought it was a cute silly read and I think I was a sucker for Rick (and the way over the top ending haha) so that might have been a reason. I probably would have been happy just reading about Shannon, Marine, Rick & James though. And I do agree with the things that annoyed you, definitely had to pull the suspension of belief card out. <br />Great review Natalie!

The ucker thing and the liposuction thing both got on my nerves big time, but it really was just how over the top everything was that really grated me.

I'm honestly not much of a reality show fan (with the exception of cooking competitions liked Chopped and MasterChef or fashion ones like Project Runway--basically any of the drama free ones that focus on a talent are the ones I like), but I do love stories that take a "behind the scenes look" at things (tv shows, concert tours, etc). I just found this one to be way too much. The shunning of her friends was one thing, but it was really more just how over the top the finale was and the whole liposuction thing that really got to me. Thanks for stopping by!

But *sigh*, if that's the worst thing that happened to her in high school, isn't she special? I once fell down a flight of stairs, That was fun, you'll never let that down. But, really, the ucker? Why would.you even. I- no. The whole cosmetic surgery thing, too. I've heard that before, potentially dangerous I think. I am avoiding this one, overall, it would just annoy the crap out of me. Glad you enjoyed some parts, though.

It seems to have some things in it that were a little extreme for the age it is trying to reach. It has such an adorable cover though. I'm glad that you enjoyed it for the most part.

I agree that it was silly and over the top at times though…I had a hard time watching her shun her former friends.
