Review: Fake by Donna Cooner

Publication Date: 2019

My rating: ★★★

I'm not sure why, but I feel like doing bullet points for this review. Enjoy!

  • This book stressed me out a bit. The idea of instant social media (as opposed to checking Facebook on my computer after the fact) in high school scares me! These kids have way too much access to negativity. Oof. Okay, rant over.
  • I haven't been in high school for 10 years, but I still feel like it wasn't very believable. The main character is overweight, and the way her classmates treated her (telling people a wide load was coming, calling her names) seemed a little excessive. I know high school can be brutal but the kids in this story didn't sit right with me.
  • Pretty predictable story and ending.
  • I liked the overall message of "Be yourself". 
  • Definitely not amazing literature by any means, but a nice little story.
I may have to just start doing bullet points for future reviews! Why is it that bullet points help me get my thoughts out better?
