Throwaway Girls by Andrea Contos

Caroline Lawson is three months away from freedom, otherwise known as graduation day. That’s when she’ll finally escape her rigid prep school and the parents who thought they could convert her to being straight.

Until then, Caroline is keeping her head down, pretending to be the perfect student even though she is crushed by her family and heartbroken over the girlfriend who left for California.

I wanted to like this book, the description sounded great and while I don’t hate it, I had to force myself to finish.

The writing style is choppy and hard to follow, numerous times I had to go back and re-read pages just to try to figure out who or what was being talked about. There was never enough to distinguish that the chapters had switched from one character to another.

While the book touches on lots of important topics it was just to scattered to really make you think too much about them.

The mystery part didn’t get interesting until the last 1/4 of the book but by then I had figured it out. Wouldn’t recommend.
