Reader reviewed by stephanie

I have to admit, when I was 10 pages in GoldenGirl, I really, really, really wanted to put it down. However, I didnt because I knew that I needed to finish this book so I could review it for you guys. :)

The writing style. I couldnt stand it. Maybe I just dont like the idea of having blogs tell the whole story but all I know was that after reading a few blog posts, my head felt like it was going to explode.

The characters Paige, Spencer, Madison and Regan were all very interesting. As the plot went on, I felt like Paige was becoming more and more psychotic. Not sure if it was the drugs that she was taking or something but I definitely felt like she was one dangerous girl. And thats not in a good way.

Spencer was the storys main perspective because we were basically following her blog throughout the entire book. I had expected her to be the typical rich girl where all she cared about was clothes and looks. I have to say, I was mistaken. She was actually the only girl in the book with a real personality. She was the one who had to decide whether she should do the right thing or not. She was the one who had to make the choices and the decisions. She was the one in a lingo, trying to win back her love and deciding whether or not to believe in her best friend.

Madison. For her, I felt like she was just an observer. She never really had any part in the book and when she did, they werent that interesting. I feel like Micol couldve really developed this character more.

Regan. Wow. Ok. She was the one who I was most confused about. I couldnt tell if she was supposed to be a good girl or a bad one; if she was the instigator or the victim. At the end of the book, I was glad to find out about her past and exactly what side shes on.

Overall, the book wasnt that bad, it was just the few fifty or so pages that totally made me want to throw the book out and refuse to read it any longer. The plot itself was the one thing that made me want to keep going and in a way, I was glad I did.
