It's All Your Fault by Paul Rudnick
1.0

This dealt with anxiety well. But the story and the characters was just...UGH!
what kind of mother agrees to letting her kid hang out with someone who almost killed her. why is it a 17 year-olds job anyway to keep her famous cousin from ruining her reputation more? It was Heller who ruined her own reputation to begin with.
This kid...Catey. a god-fearing and homeschooled sheltered girl who wears honemade pioneer-esque outfits is supposed to do what no one else can't.
now, of course she doesn't do this. she gets herself into illegal activity alongside Heller (whether or not you argue that she was coerced into doing it.) Then the two of them get a 12 year old cancer patient involved (sophie). Now...besides the fact that sophie YELLS everything she says, she is too starstruck to see what these two are dragging her into. i'm sorry....where are the parents again?
then we have characters literally named Bella, Hermione, and Katniss!!!
(i mean only in 2 scenes...but still)
then they all get away with theft and using guns and all this shit. they get away with it!!
And they pretend Heller has been converted to sone family choir so no one believes the truth about her actual arrest...cause it damages hers and Hollywood's reputation.
WTF?
