Ten Things We Did by Sarah Mlynowski
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I actually put off reading this book for a while, I now know why. My subconscious mind was telling me it was not worth my time, but silly me I decided to read it. This book is okay, if you want to read it go ahead, if you were considering reading it and are sitting on the fence read it and don’t read it.





My advice, don’t. Not worth it, it wasn’t a bad book, but it wasn’t a good book either. It was mediocre.





What the book was about:


The book started with one of the last scenes, after a party, when her parents are coming home. The book then goes back around 3 months where we learn April, the main character’s father and step-mom are moving away, they plan to take her with them, this leads to her convincing them to let her stay with her (crazy) friend Vi. While her father and stepmother are away April does many things, stuff she probably shouldn’t have done, hence the title. The book ends on a good note, in the end everyone ended up happy, (including her douche of a boyfriend), as you would expect.


What I thought of it:


The book was okay; sure, it kept me entertained, except there were many slow areas in the book. The characters were good and all and I could imagine most of them as living breathing people. But the main character, I don’t know why, but she just annoyed me.





Most of the time I felt like=





There was just something in the way she acted and spoke that annoyed me. In saying that a lot of the side characters like Lucy, Vi and Hudson were believable and likeable enough.


The story it self had flashbacks throughout the book,





saying stuff like 3 months ago, ect. I didn’t mind this and we got to learn about the character, except towards the end it really started to annoy me, so much, so that I found myself skipping those parts.


I wouldn’t say to any one don’t read this, but I also wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It just wasn’t that great. It was more okay, the story, the characters, they were all mediocre, none of them really jumped out at me. And by the end I found myself not caring about the characters,





I was reading just so I knew how it ended.


Overall... it was okay, not bad or good, just okay and defiantly only worth a three and that is only because the book kept me interested enough to keep reading.
