Read more reviews at What Danielle Did NextThere’s something about summer that makes me crave light, fun reads about friendship, love and good times so when I spotted HOW TO BE BAD with that awesome cover, I knew it was just what I needed.Despite the issues that can arise with multiple POVs, I adore getting to know a variety of characters intimately and feel that I can get so much more out of my reading experience. HOW TO BE BAD is written by three different authors, each taking a character whic...
So after reading Red Rising and having my mind pretty much blown, I felt the need to come back down to earth with a nice contemporary story. And this was a really nice contemporary story.How To Be Bad is a road trip book (yay, road trips!) and is the story of three girls, who seemingly have very little in common, and yet decide to embark on a road trip to see one of their boyfriends who is away at university.One of the things I really liked was that although the whole point of the road trip was
There's something about this that was so 2006, but I really enjoyed the mix of personalities and the humour. What I didn't like was all the slut shaming, and how the religious character is painted to be some annoying girl who stopped the others having fun. It's hard to get round the stereotypes with religion in books and this one fell at every hurdle. Everyone's own opinions and thoughts just weren't mutually respected, and it ruined the story for me.
I read How to Be Bad whilst on holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a perfect light/fluffy read to get me in the mood for summer!- How to Be Bad follows the story of three teenage girls who decide to go on a road trip. The aim of the trip is to visit one of the girls boyfriends whom she is having issues with but as with all plans things happen and they all go on a bit of an adventure. Trips to Disney, Pirate Restaurants and even fighting an alligator - the three girls discover a lot about t...
I enjoyed this book more than We Were Liars which makes me think that I should lower the stars to that book(?). But I don't know if it's me but the style of that author it's quite boring, I wanted to give it another chance but ugh...I felt like I could never finish the book and a page was like a whole bible.
I adore road-trip books and this one is no exception. All of the characters were unique and offered different perspectives on the story, I often dislike books that cover multiple points of view however I found this one refreshing. Overall a lovely story which was complex enough to be intriguing yet simplistic enough to be easy to read.
"How to Be Bad" is a collaborative effort of three YA authors out of which I am familiar with only one - E. Lockhart. In fact, her name on the cover is the only reason I picked up this book. This is a story of three girls: Jesse - a strong willed and opinionated Christian with an air of trailer trashiness about her who just found out her mother has cancer; Vicks - a tomboyish and independednt amazon whose boyfriend recently started college and hasn't called her in two weeks; Mel - an insecure ri...
** 3 BADASS STARS! ** This was okay, not great not rotten bad just okay! It's nice how three people who couldn't be any more different, connect and create a friendship. There is a case of insta-love which is annoying, I mean....how do authors think it's cute for characters to fall in love within the first few hours they meet someone?! IT'S CRINGE NOT CUTE. CRINGE. NOT. CUTE. For the rest, it's a road trip story which I always love since I want to do one myself BADLY. Talking about badly, the
I really enjoyed this book. I liked how different the three characters were and how they all helped each other grow out of their bad habit. What I didn’t like was how Jesse’s character was so stereotypical. How she’s made to be the religious slut shaming buzzkill.I didn’t like her at first but I loved her courage.I hated the romance between Mel and Marco. It was so expected and cliche’d and cheesy. It kinda was so Instalove which I hate. Over all it was a goodread.
How To Be Bad is a collaborative novel between three well-known, often-beloved YA authors. It is the story of three girls--three teens--three waitresses from a small-town Waffle House in Florida. Jesse is an uptight religious sort running away from her mom's diagnosis, Vicks is Jesse's best friend who is feeling more and more like a was. The growing distance between the two is unacknowledged, unspoken, but definitely present. Vicks has a boyfriend in Miami. He is also feeling more distant and lo...
How to be Bad by E. Lockhart, Lauren Myracle and Sarah Mlynowski was a adventurous story that you could tell the authors had a fun time writing. Jesse and Vicks have been friends for a year after meeting at The Waffle House where they work. They both have been going through changes in their lives and Jesse decides that a road trip is much needed but she is unsure how to fund their getaway. However, she reveals her plan to Vicks and Mel a girl who works with them overhears and invites herself alo...
Kind of meh for me, I am in the worst reading space right now. Being sick is somehow making me not want to read at all, and I had to force myself to sit down and polish this off this afternoon rather than play video games. I'm glad I finished it, if only to begin something new.Basically three friends, three perspectives on the same road trip to reunite one girl with her boyfriend who has gone off to college. They also want to see the tourist sites, but only one of them has any money, so Mel has
3.5 stars.http://www.divabooknerd.com/2015/06/h...I love adventure. Quirky road trips where not only discover themselves but that there is more to life beyond the trivial issues of being a teen. Jesse, Vicks and Mel are all unique characters in their own right. Jesse is religious and very judgmental, Vicks the party girl with the boyfriend and Mel is the wealthy quiet type who is just looking to make a friend. What sets out as a journey for Vicks to visit her boyfriend at collage, turns into an
A nice road-trip-story but not much more than that. My expectations were probably just too high after reading "We were liars" which I absolutely loved. It's not that I'm disapointed but it's a rather flat plot in comparison with "We were liars".
Review to come!
I picked up this book promised a coming of age road trip about three different girls facing themselves, and that's exactly what I got.This book did a great job with what it was and what it wanted to be! Despite the rating, I did enjoy this - I got, after all, what I'd wanted from it. And not anything more.Like popcorn!
