*I recieved a copy of HOW TO BREAK A BOY via the publisher through a Goodreads giveaway. 
 If I had to describe HOW TO BREAK A BOY in one word, it would just be angst. 
 So. 
 Much. 
 ANGST. 
 Despite all of the ~feelingz~ being thrown around angrily in this novel, I still enjoyed it. A lot. The characters were fun, the story was fast-paced (even though I read it suuuper slowly), and the plot was fairly solid. 
 Now, that being said, there were things about HOW TO BREAK A BOY that I didn't really like. But we'll get into that in the actual review... 
 ...which starts now. Beware of spoilers. (There probably won't be many, though.) 
 P L O T: 
 Okay, I'd like to start off this little plot chat by saying the main trope in this novel is my favorite. Ever. Fake dating turning into real dating is what I LIVE FOR. (exhibit A: To All the Boys I've Loved Before.) So, I was absolutely thrilled when I won a copy of this book because yes, please. And trust me when I say that aspect was fulfilled perfectly, even though it wasn't as prominent as I'd like it to be. The plot aside from that was fairly strong; what goes down in HOW TO BREAK A BOY is basically what the description is. That being said, there were points where I was just like what are we even doing here??. 
 C H A R A C T E R S: 
 Whit. Although he could be pretty pretentious sometimes, Whit is probably my favorite character in this novel. He's witty (get it? whit-ty?), he's funny, he's quite pretty, etc etc. Whit is basically my dream boyfriend. My only complaint about him is how he acted at the end. I feel like a general apology was in order from him, but we didn't get one. Blame it on the length of the book, I guess. 
 Olivia. Well, hello, main girl. I get you're supposed to be kind of a horrible person and all, but why can't your actions start reflecting your thoughts? You're so inconsistent and your actions annoyed me a whole lot, but you pulled through in the end. I appreciate that. Thanks for not being an absolutely horrendous main character. 
 Adrienne. Oh, boy, I wanna fight her! I, the reader, am obviously supposed to hate her, and that goal was accomplished. She's so stuck up, so pretentious, so horrible. No excuses for her horrible-ness. 
 The characters & the plot are the main things about HOW TO BREAK A BOY I liked, but here's some other things I liked about it: 
 -the cover. it's gorgeous, duh. 
 -Olivia and her mom making up(ish) in the end 
 -honestly, most of the characters getting what they deserved :) 
 -how in-depth I could see into this novel since I defaced it, which was super fun!! 
 -the general sassiness 
 -the foreshadowing 
 You see, I liked a lot about this novel! I really did. But, here's some things I didn't like too much: 
 -ended way too early for our main couple to resolve everything?? 
 -the sexual assault towards the freshman cheerleaders?? like why 
 -the fact that we don't get to see what happens next. still salty 
 Anyways, that's my review of HOW TO BREAK A BOY! I recommend it to anyone who wants lots of angst, sass, and that great trope.
