Because, and I'll say it louder for the people in the back”—she leans closer to me—“there is no single path to success. Stop judging people whose success looks different than yours.” -Ch 29, pg 321 Bridget (Stella)

Good, but could have been better

Bitter enemies, Stella Greene and Wesley Clarke are forced to work together when are chosen to be partners on a rat project. However, on the forum of their favorite show, Warship Seven, they unknowingly connect and start talking to each other. As they struggle to find the true identity of their online aliases, the two grow closer and closer in real life.

I loved the parallels between the show, Warship Seven and what happening with Wesley and Stella. The forum felt like a real fandom, even the misogynistic comments from sexist that Stella was in the middle of. The interlude of scenes from the Warship transcripts, blogs, and fics were so cute and awesome to read. And I like that book showed what its like to be poor and that just because you're rich doesn't your happy or everything handed to you.

However Stella was annoying. While I don't hate her, she was so judgmental and sometimes said things to her family, especially about/to her sister, was very rude and out of line. She thinks just because she has good grades and on track to college means she better than everyone else in her family. She constantly thought because Wesley was rich meant that he didn't have any problems and that life was easy for him. It was annoying.

I didn't really have anything to say about the romance, online they were great friends but in real life, it didn't replay go anywhere. They were mostly just mad at each other for things they did or said. It could have been better.

Overall, three stars.
