3.0

The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers has a solid concept and premise and the story was clearly written with love, however, I'm disappointed to say I never truly got sucked in. I found the writing style, as well as dialogue, and many elements of the plot, geared toward a much younger audience, and I found it hard for me to relate, even reflecting on my own much younger years. Although the writing style/audience aim made this a relatively lackluster read for me, it quite simply wasn't written for me or my age group. I can definitely see others in a younger reading generation thoroughly enjoying this one. I would definitely recommend it to younger YA readers who come into the store, as well as my nieces when they're a little bit older. I truly believe this book would be magical in the hands of a young YA reader, just not for me.
