I have 'Bomb' by Sarah Mussi to read which looks okay, but I am wary after not liking Tia's characterisation at all!Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-62428157389660165202015-09-05T20:29:35.954+10:002015-09-05T20:29:35.954+10:00I agree - I know she wasn't *meant* to be the ...I agree - I know she wasn't *meant* to be the 'good girl' who gets along with everyone and you are drawn to, but I just ended up being frustrated with her after a while.Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-68888970596365828272015-09-05T20:28:26.881+10:002015-09-05T20:28:26.881+10:00*gasp* I actually loved the Matched series and did...*gasp* I actually loved the Matched series and didn't have a problem with Cassia, but hey - we all have different opinions so it's all good :)Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-60009500665863726072015-09-05T20:27:35.550+10:002015-09-05T20:27:35.550+10:00Thanks Cynthia.

OH DEAR I can't read Looking for Alaska, especially since I hated that trope in Paper Towns. Great post Genie!

They were simple not nice girls and I hated their "friendship". I don't think I even finished it to be honest... And Sarah Mussi's books *groans*. I don't know how she does it but I do. not. ever. like her protagonists. And Tia was utterly terrible!Rachel Lightwood @ Quite the Novel Ideahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495927330080464034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-34444684944968729182015-09-04T07:53:07.168+10:002015-09-04T07:53:07.168+10:00I can definitely understand that you'd feel th...I can definitely understand that you'd feel that way about Alaska - she's kind of intentionally made that way, I think (same with Margo from Paper Towns).

(I know, I know. I'm a slacker) but it's the truth though. Teehee. I would say one I couldn't connect with probably had to be Cassia from the Matched series?
