Theodora Twist by Melissa Senate
This is the first book I've read by Melissa Senate, and I was relatively happy with the results. Unfortunately though, this is another one of those books where I felt that the ending didn't quite live up to expectations.
The story is about a young, spoiled, misbehaved teen star who goes back to high school in her hometown for a month. The purpose of her trip is for a reality series to show that she is "just a normal girl". She ends up rooming with an old friend of hers, and the story goes from there. It's told from the perspective of Theodora (the star) & Emily (her friend).
Switching the point of view every few chapters was a great addition to the story. I enjoyed seeing several events from different perspectives. The development of the friendship between Theodora & Emily was well done, especially in a short period of time (the book is only about 200 pages).
The only thing that I didn't love about the book, as mentioned above, was the ending. It wasn't a "bad" ending, it just left something to be desired. It was a bit rushed and didn't fully resolve a few of the main elements of the story. It was more like the author glossed over how things ended to avoid having to figure out how the ending really would have worked out.
This is another girly book, geared more towards teens & young adults. There is some romance, family issues, and an emphasis on friendship. Overall I would recommend this book to others if you're looking for a nice, quick read.
