I bought this because it was on the front stand in my local Waterstones as thriller of the month. I have genuinely never picked up a book from that area that I disliked until this one. It would have been a 1 star rating but I realise some people probably will enjoy it, but I'm certainly not one of them

I wasn't quite sure if you were meant to dislike the lead character Ani immediately and warm to her as you discovered her tragic tale.. the characterisation was pretty unclear. I think I am really the author's target demographic, but her pop culture references were shallow and pretty obvious. The reason why the film Mean Girls is so good is because of the brutal honesty and black humour.. LGA seemed to want to be Mean Girls but threw in some adult 'themes' for show. I was really unimpressed with pretty much the entire book - it was also too long! I read quickly but it became such a struggle I almost broke my "finish every book rule".
