Review by Hailey Chen, 13<\/p>\n
Gretchen Wilder, a rom-com loving senior, has always thought of herself as more of a \u201cleast likely\u201d than a \u201cmost likely\u201d kind of a girl. But a night out gone wrong at a comedy club has left her with a sassy alter ego known as Sabrina Martin where she might\u2019ve exchanged numbers with a stranger. It doesn\u2019t help that she has to deal with a budding crush on her best friend since forever, Sam, while also juggling her complicated feelings towards a bad boy she recently met. Gretchen knows that leading a double life can never end well, but she finds it such a thrilling experience where it draws her in over and over again. Until it comes crashing down in the most hilarious disaster ever.<\/p>\n
The Girl Least Likely<\/em> was honestly more entertaining than I expected. I found a lot of good laughs and really enjoyed the dynamic between Gretchen and other characters. The ending wasn\u2019t what you would normally expect but somehow made it all the more satisfying. I feel like the author tied all the events together beautifully and it was the kind of thing where it felt like all the puzzle pieces snapped into place. The one thing I didn\u2019t particularly enjoy was Jeremy, the bad boy Gretchen worked with through her alter ego. I really liked him and enjoyed their interactions thoroughly, but with how the book ended it really made me hate him. His character just fell flat and I felt like how their relationship turned out was super rushed. I don\u2019t know how to fully describe the feeling but I was disappointed in how things ended between them. I felt the highlight of the book was her developing friendship between her and another character, Ethan. Their conversations were one of the most fun to read through the book and Ethan was probably my favorite character in the book. The author wrote Gretchen’s feelings wonderfully, describing her emotions and thoughts in a way that was just the best when it finished. The final note I have is this book would most likely not be suited for 15 and under because of inappropriate themes but other than that I think it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n Find this book in our catalog: N\/A<\/p>\n Catalog Number: N\/A<\/p>\n 344 pages<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review by Hailey Chen, 13 The Girl Least Likely By Katy Loutzenhiser Gretchen Wilder, a rom-com loving senior, has always thought of herself as more of a \u201cleast likely\u201d than a \u201cmost likely\u201d kind of a girl.
