Does anyone else hate every single character in this book? I haven't finished it, but I'm nearly there. Honestly, I know I'm supposed to feel bad for Ronnie and her mom, but Lisa is a bitch, plain and simple. It's driving me CRAZY! Out of all the terrible people in this book, she's the worst.
Splendid Yes I hated every single character, even the people you weren't supposed to hate, like the nice teacher. I hated her too!

I hated the editor (WHAT editor?), and every character and every friend of every single character. I hated Aiden because his feet stunk and he had horrible body odor (that's absolutely all we knew about him except he played soccer with those smelly feet). I hated the story line (be it as it may). And to add insult to injury, there was NO ENDING.! Hated this book more than any other book I've ever read. And, I hate myself for reading it.
Other than that, it was great :) (less)

I started reading this and am afraid it is going to be just like The Slap, and if so, then I really don't want to waste my time and will just skip to the end. Is it the same or different?

I recall the cringeworthy feeling of the show The Slap, and this pretty much shared that all the way through the end. I usually pass on my books to my beach friends after reading...not sure what to do with this one other than resell it to the local used book store up the street. Same with Karin Slaughter's "Pretty Girls" (horrifying)(less)

I think it just shows the character of Hannah wanting to fit in at all costs. It shows that even with the tragedy she still cares a lot about her social status.(less)

I am nearly a third of the way through this book -- with several others waiting in the wings. I too hate every single character in this book -- is it worth finishing?
Kelly No. The people are awful an do not get ant better in the end.

What is the age rating on this book? (PG, PG-13, R)

If you're going by those standards, it would be rated R automatically, because there are a few f-words that would make it so. However, if they were to make this into a film, they would take it out and the storyline would be a PG-13 for sure.--Hope that helps a little (less)
