BOOK REVIEW: REBEL BULLY GEEK PARIAH




Rebel Bully Geek Pariah
by Erin Jade Lange
Hardcover edition, 320 pages
Expected publication February 16th 2016 

MY GOODREADS RATING 2/5 STARS

(Thanks to Bloomsbury USA Children’s Books and NetGalley, I received an ebook copy of this book for free to review.)

       This book is a thriller that follows four teens after an “accident”. They come from completely different backgrounds except for York (the bully) and his brother Boston (the geek). There’s also Andi who used to be the popular girl (now the rebel), and Sam who is a loner (the pariah). The story follows a night where a coincidence brings these four teens together on a journey of twists and turns.
       Throughout the book I found myself questioning many plot holes that I hoped would be cleared up by the end of the book. I was sadly disappointed. I did really enjoy the writing style of the book it was a pretty quick and easy read. Also, I found the stereotypes surrounding each of the characters pretty accurate as to what I had in mind. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if it was written with each chapter alternating character points of view.
       Overall I just felt like the plot twists were too much and a bit hard to follow. The twists were just too unrealistic in my opinion. I didn’t find myself connecting to any of the characters in the way I feel the author intended.
