kaitlynisliterate 's review for:

The Girlfriend by K.L. Slater
3.5

Pros
- Very entertaining, especially in the latter half as the plot gets so ridiculous

Cons
- Too many chapters from the POV of side characters considering the main characters are later told what occurred anyways
- Completely implausible. Why does Jennifer not immediately start searching for a job? Or at least begin making plans to move out of that home ASAP.
- Characters' internal monologue is way too self-reflective to justify complete personality changes as "character development"
Miller literally goes from a troubled teen boy lashing out at everyone to a sweet, kind older brother in the space of two paragraphs
