The Fangirl

Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

I loved the first book in the series, and I had high hopes for Celebromancy, but after getting 30% book I finally gave up. I couldn’t get into the story, the premise was off putting for me, and it didn’t feel like Ree had really developed or grown since the first book. In fact, in some ways it felt like she’d back peddled, or was a lot younger than she is, like an inexperienced kid. She made a lot of rather obviously bad choices that didn’t seem to steam from who she was as a person, but rather to service the plot of the story. Ree isn’t dumb, especially not so after the events of the first book, and yet she stumbles into bear traps left and right like a high heeled damsel in a horror movie. 

I tried to hang on, out of my love for the world and character, but I just couldn’t.
