I'm expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it's just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. "For what it's worth, Molly Barlow," he says, "I'm really glad you're back."Day 12: Gabe wouldn't quit till he got me to come to this party, and I'm surprised to find I'm actually having fun. I think he's about to kiss meand that's when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who's supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who's never going to forgive me.

I don‘t think I‘ve ever been so frustrated with characters before. I think there‘s always an element of selfishness when we‘re talking about high school characters, but this one was ridiculous. The choices the characters made and hurt they caused each other was ridiculous. A quick read, but I kept waiting for more of an explanation or better choices and it just never happened. I was definitely disappointed.

Well this was a long and drama filled book. The MC was just awful and made really stupid decisions. I can see why it‘s gotten a lot of low reviews. I‘m glad I didn‘t go into this with high expectations. I mostly finished it just to see how it ended

I don‘t have high hopes for this because I keep seeing low ratings but I told a friend I‘d read it with them 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I wasn‘t a fan. I don‘t know if it was the set up of the storyline, or the characters or yes. But suffice it to say not a winner with me.

I don't know if it's because I spend every day surrounded by teenagers who constantly make terrible, selfish decisions, but I had no patience for the main character and her love triangle. I would have absolutely loved this book, though, if it had focused more on her connections with her mother, her boyfriend's mom, and her boss. Because we need more books about teenager girls who have strong, female role models in their lives.

I‘m a big fan of epically poor decision-making, love triangles, and childhood friends to lovers, so this book was tailor-made for me. I flew through it and immediately ordered the sequel. I love the addressing of double standards when it comes to slut-shaming, I love how the ending doesn‘t tie up neatly in a bow. I wish we‘d gotten more resolution to the protagonist‘s horrible mother storyline but that‘s really the only complaint I have. 8/10⭐️

Prompt: Summer Love

The tagged book makes a great beach read and explores summer love and several other interesting topics. I did want to strangle the MC for the way she acted. So immature even when taking her age into account.

Overall not a terrible book. Character development was lacking - as seems to be the trend lately with these books - every character has the same personality, except for the bully who is obviously a bully. The main character puts herself down repeatedly while continuing to do the exact thing she puts herself down for; messing around with two boys - brothers. Storyline was predictable. Blah!

This novel is full of difficult characters. None of the main players are people with whom I‘d want to align myself. They‘re all immature, selfish, & shitty to one another - which made for some hard reading. The dedication reads, “This one‘s for the girls.” It might be. There are important lessons about double-standards & sticking up for yourself. But... (cont‘d in comments below👇🏻):

monalyisha 1/1: ...there are also lessons about personhood, & womanhood especially, that I want to SHOUT at Molly, at Julia, at Elizabeth, at basically everyone: Be open. Be communicative. Be kind. Stay soft. Heart on your sleeve. Brain in your head. I did like the ultimate message: “Sometimes it‘s hard to remember that your hometown isn‘t the only place in the world.” And I did stay up until an ungodly hour to finish reading it so... I guess there‘s that. (edited) 6y

This book is hard. I have very little tolerance for infidelity. I... trust Katie Cotugno, though. I think? Maybe she‘s about to make me a lot less judge-y? Right now, I just feel frustrated and disappointed... and okay, okay, maybe a little bit angry.

Clwojick Kind of how I'm feeling about my current read. It's written well, though a little crude at times, but I'm not liking the main character at all. I had wanted to read it though, because I loved his writing in The Alchemist... I'm with you on the whole infidelity thing. 6y

I have finished the book not too long ago and my take for it, if it were not so well written, I would have put the book down. Molly Barlow comes back after a year her mom published a book about her affairs and everyone is looking at this girl as if she had a big red A on her chest and rightfully so because the bitch cheated again with the same people. But I guess that's how it is not so cliche. I mean it is, but in a way you wouldn't expect it.

MrBook They can't all be winners, great review though! 7y

Despite hating love triangles, I ended up enjoying this book. Ugh the mistakes and choices Molly made had me cringing and wishing I could give the girl some solid advice.I hated the double standard and hate that girls are always label the slut in these type of situations.

I really enjoyed this for how messy and true it was, and especially because the ending was so untidy. It was weird to read about a girl named Molly who grew up in a town with a name similar to my own, but I had no complicated drama with hot brothers in HS.

This book was killer! Our emotions can lead us into making some catastrophic decisions! Ones that are completely reckless and selfish- ones that can't be undone. So well written- brutally raw! So glad I finally read it! Love Katie Cotugno!!

This is not an easy story to digest, but there is a great lesson here in the way of making mistakes and having to deal with the fallout. I cringed over many of the actions in this story, but I love the truth with which they are told.

bookmarklit Yes! Exactly. 8y
bookrockbetty I've been hesitating to start this for a loooong time! But I love her writing so much I should prob give it a go!! 8y
intothehallofbooks This was a reread for me-it was still tough with respect to different things happening in the story, but I just LOVE when books make me FEEL things and how super well written I think it is. I need to read How To Love ASAP. 8y
bookrockbetty I think ppl get upset over actions of characters, but forget that people are douches in real life and DO make mistakes and frustrating choices. That's why I love Katie! She writes in such a brutally honest way that doesn't glamorize flaws! Read HTL! 8y
