Yay, I was JUST thinking, “I’m ready for one of these posts to give a ‘nay’ to the BFF charm!” Sounds like it was well-deserved. May I suggest Kristen Kreuk as Kate? On Smallville, she’s all whiney whine whine “My parents are dead” sob sob sob “No one takes me seriously because I’m so pretty.”

double true on rachel cohn. the only reason i finished “pop princess” is cos i bought it at half price books and i felt the need to get my money’s worth. obvs i wasn’t paying attention in economics class when we learned about “sunk cost.”

thanks for the support on keeping my bff charm. it felt kind of mean until i realized that kate doesn’t need a friend, she needs a SPINE.

Amen, Amen, Amen! I read this book awhile ago, and I found the protagonist to be the worst part of the book. Seriously? How many times can your former best friend stand you up like a jerk and you just take it? Blech! She wasn’t even funny about it like the chick from Doing It (which was hilarious).

ouch! i have to say i lurved this review — there are def. times you just want to smack characters like this! and jessica, i totally agree with you about rachel cohn — i couldn’t stand nick and norah’s infinite playlist, and i like some david levithan. cohn just killed the book. this post also inspired me to dump scott westerfeld’s “so yesterday” before even getting to second base.

Ya, I agree with jessica that rachel cohn’s characters are obnoxious, and elizabeth scott’s are kind of annoying also. I did really like her book, Living Dead Girl, very intense story about child abduction.

Ah, we’ll all have to say nay at some point! Good job! There are many books I’d like to walk in the opposite direction of, myself! No one needs a teenager that whiney!

i also find that rachel cohn’s characters are pretty annoying. they tend to be unreliable narrators, and they’re spoiled brats.
