Status Updates From American Girls

"I think you can't expect more from people than they're willing to give. And you're happier if you don't hate them for it."

Well I'm really confused and not sure how I feel about anything or anybody in this book.

So is this gonna become one of those books where like the star falls in love with the totally normal suburban girl b/c I am completely okay with that. Also it is getting better since page 77 so that's good. There are a couple new characters who I actually really like and I think I'm liking the main character more too.

i'm really having a hard time being invested in this book.

I'm skipping chapters at a time with no obvious change in storyline, and finally it *might* be getting better... maybe.

i'm enjoying the authentic voice of the main character rn... the author has clearly put a lot of thought into making it realistic and immersive

I've been looking forward to this book, and now I feel it might be a dud. I'll give it a few more chapters...

No one runs away to Baltimore ... can say that again.

The prose is stunningly solid and sharp, not just for a YA novel, but for any novel currently out there. Excited to see where this goes.

Not in love with this book so far...anyone else read it?

"Roger was like the Edgar Allan Poe of stupid people."

This book is so witty!

"My sister and mom always thought that something awful was going to happen to me--they acted like the only option for running away was winding up in pieces in some stranger's freezer. My family was clearly the place where optimism went to die."

Bahahaha'

just started this and i'm not feeling it just yet. hopefully it picks up speed.

GOODREADS FIRST READS BOOK!!

Awesome!

I really like this! Anna is so snarky.

I was losing interest in the ARC I started the other day... so I decided to start this one. I like it!

A very interesting read. I loved the pace of it and the setup Umminger had going. All the characters were fun to read about and I like how this book made me think about things that I wouldn't usually think about.

I really don't want to stop reading this. At all. Very intriguing - but I wonder, why the sudden publication of multiple books that reference/deal with Manson Girls?
