Yes, we found out, but not because Hawthorn did anything, it was because of the police officer.

\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It turns out, however, that Lizzie Lovett isn’t as perfect as everyone thought she was. At age 22, she has disappeared during a camping trip with her Joy Division loving boyfriend, Lorenzo Calvetti. And everyone at school, whether they knew her or not, is talking about it. Why would Lizzie Lovett go camping? Why is she with that guy? According to our trusty narrator, Hawthorn Creely, the only reasonable explanation is that Lizzie is a werewolf. <\/span>
\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This was only the first thing wrong with this book, but it was probably the most ridiculous. Out of all the reasons as to why she disappeared, this is the one that makes the most sense? A werewolf, a creature that even Hawthorn knows doesn’t exist? It took around 100 pages until she gave up on the idea. But, unfortunately, in the next half of the book, even more idiotic things came to light. <\/span>
\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In fact, Chelsea Sedoti had way too many additional events that were either unnecessary or questionable. First, Hawthorn, who is seventeen, begins a relationship with a twenty-five-year-old — Lorenzo Calvetti, and no one bats an eye at it, not her mom, nor her brother, nor her dad. Second, Mychelle was a character reminiscent of Regina George and Mandy from <\/span>Mean Girls 2<\/span><\/i>. She was extremely unnecessary since the book was dramatic enough without her stereotypical drama queen act.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0But there were some structural problems, too. The story was written the way a twelve year old would write. It was tiresome, there was no character development whatsoever, and the author strayed away from what she was supposed to write about. It was stereotypical, unoriginal, and a total rip-off combination of too many teen soap operas. <\/span><\/p>\n
