Review: Happenstance


Happenstance
Happenstance by Jamie McGuire

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



That was... weird. The first 80% read like any other really good book. Then it was like McGuire realized she only had twenty pages left to fit in the rest of the book. Not only was it really fast, it was also unrealistic, and a little too perfect. HM Ward has done well with her short stories, each of them about 100 pages, and all released quickly. Not sure if that's what McGuire was going for, but it didn't feel right. I still liked it, and I'll read the next book in the series, but it would have been better spread out over 200-250 pages.

Three girls with the name Erin were born on the same day in a small rural town. Two of them were born into wealthy families, and took great pleasure in tormenting the third. They are the typical snobby, mean girls that exist in every high school in America. Erin Easter was born to a poor, single mother which isn't necessarily bad, but her mother is. With only a few months left of her senior year, she just has to get through it, and then she'll be free of the whole town, and the people in it. Of course life is never that black, and white. Weston, one of the mean Erin's boyfriend starts paying too much attention to Erin Easter. She has always liked him, but she also knows that if anyone else knew, her living hell would be ten times worse.
