I feel like literally NOTHING has happened and I’m halfway through bro I’m bored and Stevie’s bullying is just upsetting

This is…. Fine. Not bad. But not good either, really.

Why does everyone love Stevie she’s such a bully

Stevie’s mean… and David reminds me of Jameson from the inheritance games in a bad way.

Guys please forgive me I’m trying so hard tp love this bokk but I just can’t atm I’m sorry

“She shrugged philosophically” what does that even mean 😭

AHHHHHHH

I’m at page 74 and the plot hasn’t even got going yet and why is Stevie always picking on people Ive been the victim so I can’t stand her also Maureen’s idea of “rough” (I’m talking about Ellie) is someone who isn’t looking after themselves properly and LITERALLY NO ONE CARES she needs help guys 😭

Stevie’s parents aren’t very nice ngl

I just got Truly Devious from the library! So excited to read it!

Going to finish this tonight!

Considering DNFing this

They suspect that guy committed suicide and you’re telling me this is for 9 year olds??? Sweden’s idea of a children’s book is….interesting.

OH…MY..…WORD. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

This is amazing, I’m loving it!

I was literally sobbing crying my eyes out last night reading this NO WAY IS THIS THE END 😭

Too many coincidences.. and the constantly alternating perspectives is so confusing and annoying. You can literally get 2 sentences from one character’s perspective, then get 3 sentences from another’s, and then a paragraph of the third’s.
The characters are all immature for 14/15 and Annika is the only realistic character. No one in particular strikes me as interesting.

This omnipotent/observer perspective makes me feel detached from the characters and their feelings, making it hard to enjoy the book. None of the characters seem interesting to me. The lack of diversity is also a problem. This was written in 2013. All the characters are traditional white people. I didn’t mind this in the Ashbury High series, because that was written a while ago. Booksbshould be more diverse now.

Weird, in a really good way. Enjoying this so far.

Guys stop invading this old lady’s privacy she hasn’t done anything to u and you’re like spying on her LEAVE HER ALONE

Ok, this is really upsetting. I don’t think I can handle it anymore.
Looked up trigger warnings and found some things that weren’t mentioned when I first looked it up. Might read it in the future but not right now. Too much horrible things happening.

I. AM. SPEECHLESS.

Literally i want to throw every last creepy Taliban leader in prison for 3 life sentences tf they’re all so sexist and think women can just be sold like f*cking furniture

THAT MADE ME CRY SO MUCH I CANT BELIEVE ITTT

Kind of can’t believe Marian is 15 shes’s as stubborn as a 10 year old
Still enjoying it though

This is extremely sad right from page one but good so far.

Page numbers are probably different because I’m reading the Swedish translation

………

No offence to anyone who likes these books, but reading this is boring. I still don’t feel connected to any of the characters, and I feel that Jennifer’s writing is poor. She can only state facts, and seems unable to connect them to any kind of emotion. For example she spends time telling us about Avery’s poverty, but instead of telling us about its emotional impact, she just tells us what the situation is.
