One of t...I am so glad that someone agrees with me! One of the major reasons that I read is to relate to the characters. I spend like three hours every night on homework, but most characters do nothing and still manage to pass with flying colors. I think that in books (especially in contemporaries) there should be more of a focus on school.

I think I might consider no...Great review, Tessa :)<br />I think I might consider not reading this book because of those phrases "pass AP classes on sheer luck" and "perfect score on PSAT purely on natural talent"<br />*glances at my huge piles of homework and practice books* Ahem, even if you're really smart, which I know some people are, that work does not do itself.... *feels urge to burn this book even though I don't own a copy*<br />(sorry--I'm currently in high school, so stuff like APs are brought up every day, and to say someone passed from luck just annoyed me a lot, haha)<br /><br />And I totally agree, Mary Sues (overly perfect characters) are never, ever a good idea to have in a story, especially as the main character. We all know they're unrealistic, and it rings more "author writing a daydream of what her life could be like" than "relatable contemporary novel."Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840437405965556727noreply@blogger.com
