Too bad! In Some Other Life could be an interesting read but I think it's a bit unrealistic for Kennedy to forgive her "friend" for a betrayal like that.

The setting wasn't really my thing so that's why it wasn't a WOW book but I think if you like the performance arts aspect it's a fun read. <br /><br />As for Moxie - it did have men in the story but it's not about them so I don't get their point. It's specifically a story about girls having the courage to stand up for themselves.<br /><br />They also said they didn't go to authorities about sexual assault but they did - they didn't listen.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-28691885058296823442017-09-04T22:18:23.980-04:002017-09-04T22:18:23.980-04:00I can see appeal in all of these especially Notewo...I can see appeal in all of these especially Noteworthy.

Thinking about getting it.

I don't even like the movie Pitch Perfect. GASP!! lol There is a tiny bit of romance.

I was a theater/choir nerd in school so I think I may enjoy that aspect of the story a little more than you did (I hope!). I'm a little disappointed to hear that there wasn't more of a fun romance involved tho. I'm all about a good romance.<br /><br />And yeah, I'm totally with you because I don't think Kennedy's friend deserves forgiveness either. It's great showing forgiveness in books but I don't think it needs to apply to every situation either. Maybe it could have been a learning moment about how to choose better friends??<br /><br />Great reviews!
