aliciaclarereads 's review for:
Girl v. Boy
by Yvonne Collins, Sandy Rideout
Honestly this was just painful to get through. The characters were horribly crafted, the plot wandered everywhere, and I just felt confused for the majority of the time. The author missed so many opportunities, the biggest I remember is a scene where Luisa finds out her mother actually is saving for college funds instead of her just mentioning "oh yeah my mom and I talked about it." The characters were so one dimensional and the worst part was for a girl who was supposedly average and never had a boyfriend... she surely had a lot in this book.
The big 'twist' was actually incredibly predictable (but that happens in a lot of YA) and the happy ending exploding with cheese. Why must YA plot summaries look so intriguing and drag me in? They don't always seem to work out.
