So i just finished P.S I Loathe You and I have lots of things to say about it. First of all, this has minor spoilers and I don't want any haters getting mad at me, so if you haven't read it I wouldn't read this review. So basically, I hated the book. I know, I'm shocked too....I love the Clique books but this one was just.....nasty. The comments the girls made to each other where just plain bitchy, they weren't even funny. One of Massie's Comments which said Leighton Meester was a LBR when she was born in prison was just plain innappropriate. She couldn't help it and that was just taking it to far. The book also lacked its usual casual, chic, charm. The first few books had funny games they played, descriptions of their outfits, and fun activities. The things that happened in this book where....well...honestly, nothing much happened. I kept waiting for something good to happen and before you know it i was 5 pages to the end and still Zip. When they were at the amusement park I thought "good, something's going to happen" but nope...the only event was Layne barfing on Massie. Again..."ew". The opening chapter was just plain gross....seriously Lisi...bird poop? I think we're all older than that. And the scenarios were just plain unrealistic. And the characters? Well, unless they got a labotomy overnight I have no idea why they completely changed. Massie was a little nasty in the first books but she had a heart. I really hated Massie in this book, which shocked me. From her putting Bean on the bed with the cat and some of the nasty things she said....what's happened to out Alpha? Call Area 51, i think she's been abducted. Cause this girl ain't Massie Block.And Claire? Was she even in it? The only times she was mentioned was nauseating Cam/Claire scenes. And since when has Kristen wanted the PC to come back to her house?So unfortunately I have to give this book a thumbs down. I really hope the next book is better and that Lisi manages to put the Clique spice back in her novels because this was tasteless. I was disappointed because I was looking forwards to this book. The best part was when i got to the stickers at the back. Maybe they're a compensation for the lack of Pretty Committee wit inside. There was one fitting part of the book....the title described the book perfectly. Because I seriously did Loathe it.So Lisi, please cut back on the tasteless bitching of the Clique and add that charm the first books I had. I know you're an amazing writer and I love your books so much and I don't want the next one to be as big of a disappointment as this one.xx-B
