(Feel free to add me, I'm frondly ehehez)
RATING: ONE STAR
I'm officially done with this book, and the feeling I get is the feeling you get when you finish your Math exam and it's.... SUMMER!
I've decided to rate this an exact one.
My reaction right now:
Somehow I want to review about this now because I cannotbottle up all the rage and annoyance that is in my system right now caused by this.....thing.
MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS BOOK:
1.) EVA KRAMER.
Everything is just so wrong about her that I have to restrain myself from expressing full-on rage. She is such a judgemental, boastful bitch. She degrades everyone and thinks every person around her is an idiot/illiterate person. She isn't even THAT smart.
"It was just some sudden heart attack."
"Can kids get heart attacks?" I ask, even though I'm realizing I guess they can.
Everyone thinks she's so full of herself. Even her best friends.
"We tried not to be mad."
"Because being mad at you never works, because you always win, because you're so smart---which is really not as good a look on you as you'd like to think."
"But we were mad," Michelle says.
"But no one can be mad at Eva. because she punishes you for it," Steph says, glaring.
I'm really, really glad I don't have Eva as a best friend because if I did, I'd be dead by then because I would've jumped off a cliff or something. I'm also searching if there's such a thing as a Worst Best Friend award because, hands down, Eva would win. She doesn't want her friends to be happy and doesn't approve when her friends introduce their dates. If you're really a good friend, I think you would support your friend in literally everything. She won't even fucking help her best friend (her bff lost her job) by asking for a job at the camp just because she fucking frenched the fucking counselor.
YOU ARE SUCH A TERRIBLE FRIEND, EVA. SUCH.
And she is so indifferent about, everything under the sun, I guess.
"At first, I'm annoyed. Because the words are so simple and plain, anyone could act them out.
NOT ALL NINE YEAR OLD BOYS COULD ACT OUT "HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE". Not everyone knows Harry Potter (but fyi, I lurve HP). Eva, you do not need to set a standard for all nine year old boys. They do not need you to.
"Miranda's cool too," Steph says. "She's a writer."
"She doesn't seem like one," I say. "At all."
"Eva, we can't all be Eva." Michelle says.
"Don't be an idiot, pasta's from China."
Everyone breaks out laughing. At what? At the acknowledgement that if you drink two carafes of wine it makes you drunk? It's so stupid the world doesn't just feel small."
"And second of all," I say, "it's a cheese thing. I'd love Italian if they didn't put so much cheese on everything."
Bart's always been pretty nice, I guess, but who cares? The problem is he's not inteesting, which is way more important.
"Does she seem illiterate?" I ask. "She seems sort of illiterate to me."
"You're being a snob.
Eva, your legs could've been a mess of purple and blue spots had I been there to kick your leg under the table. Y U NOT KNU MANNERS?!?! UR PARENTS SEEM NICE AND ALL
We're so sorry, Eva. We can't all be geniuses like you. *rolls eyes*
SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. SHE TRASHES PEOPLE"S FEELINGS LIKE Q-TIPS.
But, very intelligent Eva defends herself:
"You should go to thar reading." Courtney says. "Just show up."
"That seems sort of loser-ish, doesn't it?
"You don't care," Courtney says. "You've never cared what anyone thought."
"I care about other people's feelings."
That is possibly the biggest lie I've ever heard in the history of this world.
Just like her teacher, I want to tell Eva that everything about her is fake. She has everything she needs: parents, a decent life, friends who love her, smarts, and etc. But she still IS jealous of everyone. EVERYONE IS COMPETITION TO HER. She even treats a thirteen year old girl as competition. She treats her sister as competition. This girl has no chill.
2. The non-existent romance that is advertised in the summary
So she basically claims to fall for a drunk guy who bumped into her on a post grad party. And after a few weeks, ta-da! SHE LOVES HIM. They aren't even in a fucking relationship. And while he's away, she's frenching Foster (she was really mean to Foster, tbh) like the world might end tomorrow. Talk.about.loyalty. I don't have a ship (and I basically have a ship in every book)
Foster - too perfect to be real. Is a cinnamon roll. Too vulnerable. too obedient.
Elliott - too cliché. Usual bad boy who ends up being dumped
Foster is so blind. I wish I could recommend him an eye examination so that he's able to see how much of a b*tch Eva is. Doesn't he like, hate her for all that she said about his stories? Whatever. It is HIS story, not Eva's. He can f*cking write anything he wants to write because (a) America is a free country (b) he shouldn't listen to a judgemental b*tch such as Eva. It's his story, not yours. Foster never really minded your business, Eva. So go away, pliz.
3. The way Eva is fired from camped
Seriously, who even gets fired from referencing someone as a Nazi?
4. The way Eva tolerates Alexis' childish whims
Camp is a place where you develop oneself. She's just tolerating Alexis' laziness and cowardice when in fact she should be teaching Alexis to overcome this. She even blamed the horseback riders, when in fact, it is HER fault because SHE made Alexis go. SHE TOLD HER TO GO TO THE STABLES AND JOIN THE OTHER KIDS. IT WAS HER. I wish Eva could stop blaming everybody for her mistakes.
She even tolerates AND encourages thirteen year olds havingsex. I mean, she should prohibit them from doing so if she's really a good counselor. But she didn't! SHE ACTUALLY F*CKING ENCOURAGED THEM. Don't you know how gross it is reading about people MY AGE having SEX?
My mind is scarred.
She also doesn't know how to appreciate other people's efforts. Example is when her mom got her a toaster. I'd be happy and thank my mom if she got me a toaster. But THE GREAT EVA here chose to pick a fight with her totally innocent mom who just wanted to give Eva something ABOUT A F*CKING TOASTER. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, EVA.
5. THE WAY SHE IS JEALOUS OF EVERYONE
At one point, she wishes to snag Alyssa's crush, Corey, who is JUST F*CKING THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. At also one point, she goes on a date with Zack, her friend Shelby's ex boyfriend. LIKE HOW IMMORAL IS THAT?!?! IT IS AN UNSPOKEN RULE THAT YOU DO NOT DATE YOUR FRIEND'S EX. But Eva being Eva is ....
She calls Elliott her boyfriend but secretely loves Foster. WHAT EVEN HAPPENED TO ELLIOTT? DID U RLLY JUST KISS FOSTER AND FORGET ALL ABOUT YOURBOYFRIEND?!?!?!
I didn't like this book. DO NOT READ IT, PLIS. I AM IN THE MIDST OF AN ANGRY OUTBIRST RIGHT NOW AND UNLESS YOU WANT THAT, DON'T READ THIS. I WON'T EVER RECOMMEND IT.
I think I'm going to have an aneurysm if I think about this book further. I wish I could erase my memory of reading this.
