10 Things We Did, by Sarah Mlenowski, is about a girl whose father moves to Cleaveland in her junior year of high school, and she stays behind to live with her best friend. Alone. In a house.
Just that part probably tells you how completely unrealistic and unbelievable this book is. April, the main character, has very little personality and Mlenkowski often seems to forget to develop her characters much farther than a name and the stupid things they do at parties. Also, the plot of this book is boring. Actually, to be honest, I'm not quite sure there is a plot at all. In each chapter it seems that April finds a new way to get more money from her father for "rent" or "groceries" (she actually spends the money on thinks like drinks, hot tubs etc.) and other ways to make her life less and less realistic and harder and harder to believe. I think that I am quitting this book, because I am simply fed up with being bored and annoyed by April's life.
I do not recommend this book.
