We follow all the girls on the list up until homecoming. The List is a tradition for every year, a week before Homecoming, and calls out one girl for being the ugliest, and one for being the prettiest in each grade. A lot of the conflicts were left unresolved, and we found ourselves waiting the whole time for that ‘something bug’ to happen. While the characters themselves weren’t under developed – they all had their own issues! – their storylines came to an abrupt end.
Unfortunately, dealing with multiple perspectives can have it’s down side, mostly that one character can become more prominent, or all characters could be underdeveloped. Basically, the book had a lot of promise. We were really looking forward to reading this book because it deals with eight different perspectives, much like our beloved Clearwater Crossing. Also Siobhan Vivian has co-authored the Burn For Burn trilogy with Jenny Han and I liked Siobhan’s character a lot more than Jenny Han’s.
