Oh, what to say about this book? I really don't know what to say, but I shall try.
Valerie
Williams has always had an east life: Her parents gave her all the money she
could possibly want, she has the hottest boyfriend in the school, and she is
the one that everyone wants to be. All is going smoothly until her mother tells
her that she must get a job and that she already has one planned out where she
works. Val never thought to ask what her mother did, but she was about to find
out, and when she did, she couldn’t believe it: her mother was a tooth fairy,
as she now was. And her trainer was no one other than the Goth boy in her
class, Rick. She feels drawn to him because, she finds out later, that they are
soul mates, put together by the company. But then there’s Vince: tall, dark,
and handsome. He is also vying for her attention, not to mention that Val
already has a boyfriend. As Val struggles with her impulses, she does some
crazy things that she isn’t so sure she can come back from.
Alright, first let’s talk about Val.
In the beginning, she is totally self-centered, vain, and shallow, until she
meets Rick. She falls in love with Rick all while having a boyfriend, who she
cheats on with Rick. Calvin only breaks up with her later when he sees her
wings, then wants to get back with her. I don’t really understand why he would
because Val really isn’t very interesting or nice. Then Rick, who is actually a
really good guy, falls for her then they start going out, then she’s reassigned
to someone else and about a day or so after meeting him, she makes out with
him. Then she just thinks, Well I’m
already in trouble, so why not do whatever I want, and then she sleeps with him. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? This girl has some serious mental issues and I suppose
she admits that, so I guess this is a book about a crazy person, or at least I
hope so because if it isn’t then that’s kind of sad. Really, the only good
character in this book was Rick.
Despite the vapid protagonist, I did
like the story. I thought that it got a little ridiculous at times, but I still
felt pulled into the story. The writing, however, was a completely different
story. Whoever was the editor of this book should be fired immediately. There
were times when she used the wrong form of the word, such as “threw” for the
word “through” and “meat” instead of the word “meet.” These are actual
examples. Then, there were times that she didn’t even use the right names for
the characters! One time she used the name Victor when she was actually talking
about Vince and the name Ashley when she was actually talking about Jessica.
That was a serious problem.
The ending of the story was quite
good and I thought it was really sweet. She ends up with the guy that I wanted
her to, so that was good. Really, the ending was darling. I know that it sounds
like I really hated this book, but I didn’t. It was just that there were a few
problems that I wanted to rant about, so I did. I really did get caught up in
the story because I wanted to see what this crazy girl was going to do next,
even if I was screaming at her the whole way.
This book was crazy. 3 Smileys!
