Apple's Angst
Apple is back for another story filled with plenty of drama, boys, gossip — and, of course, angst.
Things in Apple's life are slowly getting back to her friendship with Happy seems to have survived her Crazy Girl Moment (i.e. sabotaging Happy's relationship with Zen), she has a new sort of-boyfriend, Lyon (cute and very sweet, but no pitter-patters in her heart), and she's landed a gig interning for Angst magazine (hottest teen magazine around). But, as it usually happens for Apple, life is never this perfect. Just add into the mix a snarky co-worker, an ever-annoying famous talk-show mother, and a major secret crush on her best friend's boyfriend that just won't go away, and things are about to get a lot more complicated . . .

Apple (name courtesy of her dear mother) has just earned an internship at the hottest magazine Angst. Apple has to learn how to deal with all the obstacles of life that came with accepting the internship, but also loses herself.
OK, so there wasn't a single review for this book, and I saw the rating and thought people deserve to know why this book got that rating.
1. This book is so juvenile. It's so utterly boring. This book had no purpose. It was boring (I just had to say it again), and felt rushed.
2. I feel like this should be a sequel. There should be a whole other book of what happened between her, Happy, and Zen.
3. There was zero character development and many scenes felt pointless. I did not connect with Apple, or get in the mind space of her.
4. The main character had no internal struggle. And it was weird it was told in third person, where there was not a single scene that did not have Apple in it, so it probably would of been a way more effective way of storytelling if it was told in first person.
5. I progressively felt distant from the main character. Yes, I understand that throughout the book, Apple was withdrawing from everyone and changing, but it shouldn't feel that Apple is withdrawing from the reader.
I am very sorry to say that this book just failed on so many levels. I skipped through most of the book,(actually I don't think I did, but it just felt like I was reading cliff notes). Zero descriptive language of scenery or people. Oh, and don't even get me started on the ending. It was horrible. It was rushed and felt like no big change in the characters or anything.
PLEASE, THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND I'M JUST SAVING YOU TIME
