The author started writing this book fifteen years before it was published, meaning starting it in the early 00s and it shows. Especially as it starts with 'I'm not like Other girls' trope:

"Actually, wait up a second, I'd better get something straight here, just in case I'm giving the wrong impression. I'm not one of those brain-dead bimbos who talks about boys and make-up all time."

I read [b:Haunt Me|30322601|Haunt Me|Liz Kessler|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1471279000l/30322601._SY75_.jpg|50815591] by Kesser and didn't like it much. It felt old school YA, but in a bad way. In fact, it also a protagonist that 'wasn't like other girls'. It tried, but I didn't think I would pick Kessler up again but this was a Queer book I found in the library and it had 'read' and 'book' in the title so I decided to try again with Kessler.

This novel feels very disjointed, especially in Part three which feels like five epilogues in a role, then some plot, then just ends. It feels like it needed another hundred pages to smooth it out.

On the pluses, it's own voices and it's queer. Besides, some mild girl hating this novel was okay. It has the typical It got better than the first few chapters. I actually almost returned this to library unread due to the first chapter and the way the characters were introduced. I neither regret reading it or would have regretted never reading.

Proper review
