Book Review: 99 Days

3/5 stars

I felt this story was forgettable and didn't bring anything new to the table. We follow Molly who was in a relationship with her childhood best friend last summer but she cheated on him with his older brother Gabe. Molly's Mum wrote a best selling book about it rather than comforting her daughter which pushed Molly to leave and spend a year at a boarding school.

I felt like I'd been dropped in the middle of Molly's story because everything had happened last summer and nothing was really happening now. She seemed to go straight back into bad habits, spending time with Gabe and unable to move on from Patrick even though he is in a new relationship. Molly didn't have any healthy friendships in this story and she didn't really spend time with her Mum (which is something that usually happens in YA that I'm not a fan of!)

The love triangle was frustrating because it felt like Molly hadn't learnt anything from the summer before. She didn't seem to have any interests of her own, although she had a summer job at The Lodge where she was Penn's personal assistant.

I am going to read the sequel 9 days and 9 nights which is Katie's new release.
