What did you think the book was about? As per the four chapters that I read, I just learn CATHY and not yet sure if there will be other mean girls to comes out. But as it goes, I can say, it's about how a simple, naive and weak girl discover their power and start to become mean :)
Did you feel that the book fulfilled your expectations: 100 percent, I actually enjoy every part. It is so refreshing. Also, the author put us in some situation that afterward, you will be surprised that what you are thinking is actually not going to happen :)
What about the plot? Did it pull you in; or did you feel you had to force yourself to read the book? It actually hooked me, I love the character so much, and the flow of the story.
Do the characters seem real and believable? (Basically, can you relate to their predicaments? To what extent do they remind you of yourself or someone you know, if they do at all?): I actually love Cathy, her story and how she become mean. I show it all and give all the valid reason on why she acts like that in the story.
How was the pacing of the chapters you read? (Consider if the scenes skipped or jumped randomly. Too fast or too slow? Why?) The chapter runs smoothly, it is not too short and not too long which make the reader more comfortable to read it.
How was the description of the chapters you read? (Consider if there where any information bumps. Were there a lack of emotions, too little describing, telling rather than showing, etc.) I love it! The author knows how to empower her characters. It is not exaggerated and well written!
Describe what you liked or disliked about the writer's style? Why? I actually don't have anything to dislike in the book. It is good and knows how to catch readers attention.
Would you read more of the author's work? YES!

I have to be honest, the synopsis didn't prepare me at all for what I was going to read. I thought it would be a work of fiction about a mean girl. It took a couple of chapters to realize that it was actually about the author's life. These types of books don't normally appeal to me, it is a personal preference and nothing to do with the individuals that write them, but in this instance, it drew me in.
I think that it is hard to not wonder about the main character, and while I watch her character unfold through her experiences, I can honestly say that I can't personally relate and I think that is what drew me in, the vast differences between the author's experiences and my own. I am from a very small town where you essentially went to school with the same kids your entire life, and there were certain segregated groups that I am only now reflecting on which I belonged to. I don't feel like I was a mean girl, I am not sure what others that went to school with me would consider me, but I don't feel that I was.
I am not sure what the chapters were like as the author said that she was editing and the length had changed on some of them. I liked the length and the flow from chapter to chapter was good. There was a lot of reflective monologues which can get dry, but I am not sure that this is a story that could be told without the monologue especially as it is about one's own life.
