Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou

*I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. *

When I first read the premise of this book I was excited. "Heathers" was one of my favorite movies, and I thought that the plot had promise. Now that I have finished it, I can say that it fell a little flat to me. I couldn't sympathize with the main character, Stevie, even though she was definitely the victim in this scenario. The fact that not a single person in her life bothered to listen to her, including her mom, sort of made me hate everyone in the book. None of the characters was particularly likeable, which doesn't make for a good book for me. I was sightly amused by the "pranks" that were going on around the school, but the premise of the book made it sound like they got awful and violent-- when it wasn't really THAT bad until the end. I saw the "twist" coming from a mile away, and sort of had to force myself to finish the book. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever read, but it isn't something I would read again or even recommend.
