Perfect You (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Book

I'm not going to gather up the energy to do an actual review because I read this - truly, I can't remember when I picked this up. Anyway, this book is one of the explanations on why I'm not a big fan of contemporary YA romance books.

The basic story is:
The book revolves around Kate who works with her father selling Vitamins in the mall. Her best friend has become popular and ever since that occurred, she acts as if Kate is invisible. And...other cliché teen drama crap, which I will not bother to list.

Okay, the novel does deal with significant challenges of being a teenager such as divorce and selfish parents.

But what irritated me to the point of insanity was the ending.

Nothing gets fixed. Nothing.

But one thing.

That one thing is her relationship with Will. The guy who, in my view, was a complete player. Kate wasn't any nicer to him either...I guess that makes it even.

"What she doesn't realize is that while life may not always be perfect, good things can happen -- but only if she lets them..."

Wait,WAIT!

But good things didn't ensue! I felt like I personally knew the message that the author was attempting to deliver in this book.

Everyone gather around for the compelling message.

It doesn't matter if your parents are getting divorced or your best friend basically ditched you, but as long as you have an amazing douchebag boyfriend then your life is complete.

END OF THE STORY. I mean message.
