Second, because I’ve had to overcompensate for my loser older brother for, like, ever, old habits were hard to break. For the rest of the day, my anxiety was on overdrive.
Or when I pulled a B on a chemistry test (my least favorite subject) instead of the A Mom and Dad wanted. Like when I snapped at Mom before school because I was late and she didn’t appreciate my lipstick shade, and she looked back at me with wide eyes as if wondering whether I was her real daughter or an imposter from outer space. That guilt could be triggered by the smallest of things. I think any age readers will really love this book and I'm so glad I got to read it early! Will be purchasing this for my teen collection at work! Read moreįirst there was the guilt that gnawed at my self-esteem like a leech whenever I didn’t live up to my parents’ expectations. And the reader can see that in this novel first hand experience. Someone puts just one picture or one status on their Facebook page and it changes a person's life. One thing that is very true in this book is the power of social media. Too bad they didn't jump on the band-wagon earlier though. They drove each other so crazy that the reader could tell they were intrigued by the other and looked forward to every time spent together. Might as well go all out, right?I adored the moments between Sam and Riley. So rebelling is the next best thing to do. Her big brother gets away with murder, but if Riley gets a C on a test it's like she started the zombie apocalypse.
Yeah, I knew they would be in there since Riley and Sam were either friends or siblings of them, but Riley's plan? That takes it to a whole new level!Throughout the novel Riley changed and I can completely understand why. I am really enjoying Liz Fichera's novels! When reading this novel, I didn't realize how involved the characters would be dealing with the previous novel characters: Ryan and Fred. I received this free eARC in exchange for my honest review.
