The Female of the Species
by Mindy McGinnis
I don't really get the hype for this book. Everyone seems to love it so much or talk about its important message, but I didn't see it. It mostly just seemed like typical YA that got bogged down in the romance and forgot about the legitimately more important things going on. I thoroughly enjoy romance, but the protagonist was literally committing murder and I wanted the focus to be on that. Her emotions, her reasoning. How she was dealing. But instead all we got was how it affected her relationship with her boyfriend.
And then we followed Jack around and I couldn't figure out why he needed to be a POV character at all? And Peekay too, though she at least was a little more compelling.
I just don't know about this book at all. It was weird, the characters and their emotions and the way it dealt with murder and their relationships and lack of any discernible plot. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the kind of book that struck me as good by any means.
