Ilant It gets trickier with the arrival of freshman Matthew Bloom whose dazzling audition for the role of Danny Zuko turns Tara's world upside down Freshmen belong in the chorus not the spotlight But Tara's outrage is tinged with an unfamiliar emotion at least to her adoration And what starts as a conniving ploy to mentor young Matt uickly turns into a romantic obsession that threatens to topple Tara's hard won status at South Hig. I made it about 150 pages or so This was justwow My reaction in three GIFs There was slut shaming there was bullying there was a ridiculous main character and this was just written in a way that made me uestion if teenage women actually wrote like this in the early 90sor ever To uote Do you get what I mean Do you Honestly this could have been a super cute book But then the author had to bring in view spoilercheating a horrible horrible main character who basically throws a tantrum and ignores everyone and acts like she's the bee's knees and super popular and busy when she doesn't get her way then says that she's incredibly mature hide spoiler

Folded Notes from High SchoolT a hot jock boyfriend in Christopher Patrick Caparelli her best friend Stef Campbell by her side and she's a SENIOR poised to star as Sandy in South High's production of Grease Cinching the role is just one teensy step in Tara's plot to get out of her hometown and become the Broadway starlet she was born to be She's grasping distance from the finish line graduation and college are right around the corner but she has to remain vig. I went into this novel expecting a major blast from the past full of nostalgic feelings and 90's vibes but that's not exactly how it went down Tara truly is as the first sentence in the synopsis states a status obsessed senior and her attitude and manipulative personality was a little hard to take I was really excited for this novel because I wanted a little trip down memory lane but what I got was a flashback of all the mean girls from high school Don't get me wrong the novel is full of delicious and entertaining drama but it became a little redundant at times and I had a hard time really getting into it I definitely wanted to know how the story would end but I didn't find myself really liking or relating to any of the characters All in all the story was entertaining but I was expecting so much I would recommend this for an easy summer read but if you're looking for a high school throwback with lots of 90's nostalgia this one was lacking a little something Thank you to Penguin Teen for sending a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review
