Faking 19
Author: Alyson Noel
ISBN: 9780312336332
Faking 19 by Alyson Noel tells the story of Alex, a high school senior who has lost sight of everything that used to be important to her. A former popular girl, Alex has let her grades slip and spends all her time traveling to LA with her best friend M.
Alex and M meet two guys at a party in LA and quickly fall for them. Alex lies and tells her new friend Connor that she is 19 years old and a student in college. M is a wild girl and Alex often leaves her out partying because she isn’t ready to go home. Although Alex also yearns to be older, she still has some semblance of what is important.
Honestly, that’s as much summary as I can give because nothing really happened in this book besides Alex sneaking to LA several times and arguing with her friend M.
Needless to say, I was thoroughly bored throughout the story. I kept waiting for something more exciting to happen. I kept waiting for M to start treating Alex like a real person. It didn’t happen. I almost put this book down, but it kills me to not finish a book, so I completed it.
1.5/5
I know how it feels when you just have that need to finish a book, even when all you want to do is put it aside and never pick it up again. Thanks for the warning on this one.♥
Eeek! Sorry this one was pretty lackluster. I'll definitely steer clear.
