Molly is a recent high school graduate who comes home after spending her senior year at an elite private school. Her mother is a well known, respected author who became famous by writing a steamy love novel primarily based off of her daughter's life. The summer before Molly's senior year Molly finds herself in a complicated love triangle between two brothers, Patrick and Gabe Donnelly. Throughout the whole summer Molly cheats on the two brothers without either of them knowing. Molly confesses what she's been doing all summer to her mother, and her mother turns it into her next book. Even though she changes the names in the novel, it doesn't take long for her small hometown to finally realize what Molly had been doing the whole summer. Both brothers are extremely upset with Molly and each other. In the fall, Molly leaves behind her hometown and all the gossip that is being said about her. This book, 99 Days, begins when Molly comes home for the first time following summer.
Katie Cotugno does a fantastic job of describing and creating the characters in this book. She takes the time and develops them until they each have their own unique personalities. The problem I had with this novel, and the reason I gave it two stars was that there was no growth within our main character, Molly. I often got bored with this novel because there weren't many exciting moments. The ending of this book was boring and would have been better if the protagonist had learned a lesson and/or changed at all.
Overall I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you are looking for a filler material type of book with insignificant drama and some raunchy love scenes. This novel left me disappointed and I feel like I wasted time reading it.
