That is how I felt after reading this book.
I absolutely hated it. I mean, don’t get me wrong the beginning was really promising, but then we get to know the characters and let’s just say there was a point where I wished they would all get hit by a bus. Also, the main character Kate scared me. She was OBSESSED. A crazy stalker actually, and the book deemed what she was doing was ‘love’. Wow.

So yeah, thank God that’s over. NOW FOR SOME GOOD BOOKS.

Kate is vijftien en haar leven verandert vanaf het moment dat Sara voor het eerst het klaslokaal binnen stapt. In tegenstelling tot haar vriendinnen, die er keurig uitzien en netjes zijn en zich eigenlijk net zoals alle andere meisjes op school gedragen, valt Sara op. Alles aan Sara intrigeert Kate en ze is dan ook vastbesloten haar te laten merken dat zij haar niét raar vindt. Ze probeert zich te bewijzen door een vriendin te zijn door Sara en algauw ontstaat er een vriendschap tussen de meisjes. Maar tot in hoeverre zijn ze eigenlijk vriendinnen voor elkaar?

It was appalling. Kate's fixation was illogical, her target Sara a complete cow, and the storyline boring.

As someone said earlier, onto some decent books. I don't know how this crap ever got published. It is one of the worst books I have ever read. So repetitive...nothing new whatsoever.

If you enjoyed this book, please head to the nearest facility and get yourself sterilized.

I was so mad at the end of this book. I didn’t really feel the connection between the main character and her love interest at all and i was very disappointed that the love interest never really found out that the mc liked them.
