Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum
2.0
Hated. It.
I understand that it's in the title--these characters are going to be bad. And they are, but not in a way I found fun.
There was also something about the narration I found irritating...and that voice continued into the Acknowledgements, so I'm under the impression it is the author's voice I don't like.
I wasn't even that invested in the action of the story and characters. I love a good soap opera drama situation, but this book even missed the mark on that option.
I'm not sure who would enjoy this book. Maybe someone who enjoys some of the downfall of the rich...but the downfall doesn't even have consequences so like, was it even a downfall? Maybe socially within their own fictional circle.
My opinion: don't bother. But if you have a different opinion, I would enjoy hearing it.
