3.0/5.0- I feel like I could write a pretty long review but I'll try to keep it short for myself (woops) - the beginning I didn't connect with her, I didn't think she was funny and it sounded like she wanted to sound relatable but I'm not in any stage of my life relating to her, which is on me not her. Some parts I was like aww okk I understand and feel some more empathy towards her experiences but still can't relate. Towards the second half I felt like I was listening to the same thing again... it felt like I was being gaslit by Libby like it was replaying the same stuff but no... she just repeated herself. She would start a point, digress, and get back to the same point, saying almost the same thing, but then adding some more drama and “inspiration” into what she had just said when she could've ended her point the first time. If it happened once, whatever, but it happened like 3 times so the book (in my head) went from 2 stars to then like 3.5 cause I was liking it and found the middle ground at 3.0. I don't think I'd recommend this for the sake of motivation and inspiration but her life story is interesting.
⭐️4.0 - different from what I'm used to reading but ended up enjoying it more than I expected, it helped that the character was girlypop
i wanted to cry when i finished it. i couldnt believe it was the last selection book. i read the first book 2 years ago, my mom picked it and when i saw it i was like oh sure ill read it. i went to camp and so many of my friends were commenting on how good the book was. when i finished it, it instantly became my all time favorite book, and it still is. the selection series has become an amazing part of my life, even as young as i am. if i ever have kids, a daughter specifically, with no doubt this book will become a part of her life too. thank you Kiera Cass, for this amazing life changing experience you have given me.
3.9/5.0- I'm not good with fantasy and keeping up with imaginary stuff but it was still an adorable book and I like it when stories are connected.
