Maddy knows that she is different, she is not like the other kids in Springville: she knows this, everyone knows it, so why can’t they just let her be?
In her small town of Springville, Georgia, Maddy wants to disappear into her surroundings and let the rest of her high school class enjoy their senior year without even noticing her. She is perfectly fine going the rest of the school year, 100% unnoticed. That is until a brief, freak rainstorm rolls in out of nowhere and upends everything that she knows to be true, thus far.
This is… She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Carrie (the original, not the 2013 remake) all smashed into one book. With the backdrop of a racially divided small town and social media.
I enjoyed the writing style. I enjoyed the characters. I could have passed on the podcast interjections but, I didn’t hate them. Maybe if they were police interrogation transcripts, I don’t know – but again, didn’t hate it.
I hope there is another book to follow this, I’d love to hear about Wendy and how her life turned out; Kendrick and where he is, hopefully living his life to the fullest; and of course, where is Maddy?!
One-Word Summary: Blackface
