Flowers of the fairest Book

I think I paid 50 cents for this at a used book sale and I definitely overpaid. The book I read before this was an excellent, but dark, Karin Slaughter. I decided to read this next because I thought it would be a light, funny read. It wasn't. The characters in this book are so unlikable, I found myself wishing they'd encounter Karin Slaughter's murderer. The Borders sticker on the back of the book said it was YA, but it definitely wasn't. I think it said that because this author has written YA before. Maybe she got confused that she was writing supposedly adult characters in their 20's. I have read many YA books with characters far more mature than these idiots. These girls are shallow, immature and so, so stupid, especially Allie. I don't understand how anyone could live with such an inconsiderate, annoying slob, let alone be friends with her. I hate Sex and the City and everything that came out of it (for many of the same reasons I hated this book), but someone needed to tell Allie he's just not that into you! And then slap her in the face. Hard. It was not believable to me at all that Josh would be in love with her. She did nothing but talk about Clint and act like a complete moron. She was supposed to be a college graduate? Maybe Canadian colleges have lower standards than those in the US because I found it hard to believe she was even a high school graduate. As for the other two girls, they were no more likable and equally selfish. If you're going to paint Jodine as a germophobe with OCD tendencies, you can't expect readers to believe she wouldn't flush the toilet. I also couldn't figure out why they would be friends with man-stealing Emma who always needed to be the center of male attention. Do yourself a favor: pick up the latest Karin Slaughter and skip this bore-fest filled with unlikable characters.
