This book ended up being a nice surprise. I bought it for free on iBooks, so I didn't expect much. However, I ended up really enjoying it! The main character had such a unique voice, and I liked reading from her point of view. My only criticism of her was she was very vulnerable- and not in a good way. She took everything as an insult and cared waaaay too much about how other people saw her. Nevertheless, she was strong-willed and seeing her concoct elaborate plans (just to hav ...more

Expecting a cheesy prom read, I was hoping for the best, with crossed fingers of course. But then, BOOM this is what this book came at me with in the end:

So our lesson over here is don't judge a book by their cover.. or summary/look. We all expected a book that has to deal with a disaster prom, but this is something else. This book deals with true and pure reality, and about days in the life of many teenagers o ...more

From the moment I started reading this book I fell in love with it. It's just one of those sweet teen reads where the girl can't get the boy she actually loves and problems occur throughout that help her finally see the true meaning of love. I love how easy it is to relate to the characters and how you can actually compare your life to the life of Cassidy. Overall I gave it 5 stars because I highly recommend that you read it and its free at the moment so it's a a must have!!

Well, that was no fun.

I'm usually a sucker for contemporary romance but this book is the worst. I'm sorry, but it is. The cover is super cute and I thought the book will be like that as well. What a disappointment it was.

Cassidy, the protagonist is just ridiculous. The talks too much AND she talks nonsence, she makes one bad decision after another. Every word that goes out of her mout is a lie, she's fuul of teen angst and that's just tiring. She's 17 but she's acting like a 12yo. So sad.

This story was exactly what it says in the synopsis: a modern-day Shakespearean romantic comedy... which had me laughing out loud throughout the entire story. One thing that I loved about this book is that Cassidy was easy to connect with, showing how stressful of a time high school can be, and how much you strive to be accepted and loved by peers and friends, but that it takes to courage to do what she did and find a way to overcome al ...more

Hard to get through
Although the general story was good, the narration was difficult to get through and the end felt very rushed. Almost as if the author was just as done with writing the story as I was reading it. The main character was incredibly annoying... She rambles which I guess is supposed to be cute and endearing, but it was just tiresome and corny. The main character acts more like she is twelve than seventeen and does weird over the top impulsive things that any normal, sane, person wi ...more

I loved how the blurb compares this to a modern day Shakespearean comedy: spot on!
Truly, this story has shades of the mixed up romantic mess of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The main character, Cassidy, has her sights on going to prom with Michael, an adorable geek, but he barely notices her. So her plan is to use Jasper, the popular jock, to make Michael jealous, but when the Jasper plan starts to backfire, Cassidy gets even more creative: "I wanted to use Zeke to make Jasper jealous to make Micha ...more

Prom Impossible......a more fitting title should be 'Diary of a stupid, stupid girl' . Ugh.

I went into this book hoping for a light, cute, fluffy read. And I'm pleased to announce that I did, in fact, get that. This is a fun little read that will definitely have you reminiscing your high school years and prom (if you went, which I did not) or imaginging your years to come if you're not there yet.

A fun young adult novel featuring the humor in angst readers can enjoy from the comfort of the couch even after high school and laugh at how serious the issues felt at the time. Full of unique characters and numerous teen antics this was a fun read. A touching tale of coming of age, getting what you wish for, and self discovery.

Prom impossible was very intriguing and I couldn't put it down. When I would read Prom Impossible I would feel like the character in the book would feel. I think that the settings in the book are important; they help to explain into more depth of what id going on. I don't like how the main character would alway ramble because it got her into deeper trouble. I also don't like how Jules can spend a year and a half without telling anyone that it was all her fault. I am upset that Jules thought it w ...more

It’s been a week since I read Prom Impossible and a review should be easy enough to write but on the contrary, I am finding it difficult to do so. You see, I have mixed feelings about this book and while that was effortless to say, articulating my reasons and thoughts is much more complicated.

When I first saw this book and read the synopsis, I was thrilled! I mean, look at that cover! Clearly a YA book since it's about prom, we have a girl in a cute pink dress, and obviously three boys in the background. Perhaps part of my problem was that I had expectations that were too high for this book, and so it would have been pretty difficult for it to meet those standards. I really, really wanted to love this book, but I did not. Instead, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it. Som

Opening Thoughts
I think that my expectations for this book were way to high, and that there was no way that this book could have possibly met them. This book was meant for a younger audience, than what I am. I think that this book was better suited for middle school or early high school, and that's not really the reading group that I'm in.

I got a review copy of Prom Impossible a few months ago from Xpresso Book Tours, and, since I am the worst person ever, I completely forgot about it until after I was already supposed to have reviewed it and I felt really bad so I read it right away. So here's my review, two weeks late since I'm the lamest person ever.

Prom Impossible is a fun, entertaining book that follows a girl called Cassidy. She dreams of having the perfect prom with her crush who is called Michael. This book is fascinating as we get to follow her around on a thrilling roller coaster ride and we get to watch her try to make her dream into a reality.
In the beginning of the story, Cassidy, is caught setting up a few smoke blasters and is then sentenced to an Adventure Program at school for summer. In this story, we are introduced to three ...more

My review
Prom Impossible is a comical story that follows a girl called Cassidy who dreams of the perfect prom with the perfect guy. The book is mostly set over Cassidy's senior year, and gets us engrossed as we follow her around and watch her try hard to make her dream come true.
Cassidy is probably the most delusional character I've ever read. I mean, who thinks about soul mates at 17? She's a really random person who rambles a lot and makes up some dumb and weird excuses, but I think her vitali ...more

Cassidy wants the perfect senior year.
