Review


Soooo this book is about your typical selfish teenager who's life revolves around herself and boys......Queue Belly !

This book in a nutshell:

Hi I'm Belly, I really really fancy Conrad and I have been in love with him since I was 11.
Even though he doesn't fancy me I hate anyone he talks to or goes out with.
His brother Jeremiah is lovely and is my best friend (and fancies me) but I will play him along in case I don't get Conrad. Oohh I also have a boyfriend called Cameron who I will also play along until I get Conrad.
Conrads mother is sick , really sick ...but anyway I'm in love with Conrad.

This book basically tells teenage girls to play along anyone you want until the one that you actually want, wants you back!

DUMB!

True Story

When I was younger (12) I moved to a new school after my parents had divorced, it was in a new town and it was already in the third year so all of the little cliques and friendship groups had already been established.
 
It was a really hard time for me as I was quite an introvert but then I realised I could actually be whoever I wanted to be as I didn’t really know anyone.

I became a funny extrovert and made quite a few friends (Wahoo go me!)

I also noticed and fell completely in love with a boy lets name him boy X ……………………. I was completely and utterly besotted with boy X for at least 2-3 years at school, in fact I turned in to quite the stalker !

 I started to listen to the same music he did, liked the same TV shows….I was a proper nutcase !!! 

But then one day ….sigh…one day he noticed me, I mean he actually noticed me! One of the most popular good looking boys in my year noticed me!!!.
 

Well as you can imagine I was a little bit chuffed about this and proceeded to tell everyone within reach about it. 

We ‘went out’ for about 2-3 weeks and I thought that I was going to marry him, I had picked out my dress and everything…………………….Then I went down to the park to meet my friends and saw him kissing someone else ………………………I pretended that it didn’t bother me, but it did, it did very, very much.

This book was like listening to my summer when I was 13, and I realised what a complete and utter absolute tit I had been!

It made me angry about how shallow Belly was and how she didn’t care about anything else apart from herself, I know I know that’s what all teenagers are like, but I disliked the MC so much that I didn’t care if, when, why anything happened to her.

So no I didn’t like the book.
