Reading Response

The book I am reading right now is called Winning: It's Not Everything. It's the Only Thing. It's about a girl who is going through great lengths to win homecoming queen, hurting a lot of people in the process.
I am a very competitive person, but I never hurt people. I certainly would not do so for something as frivolous as Homecoming Queen. (Sorry if that offends anyone on the Homecoming Court.) But the author takes it from almost ten different points of view. You have the girl herself, Alexandra, the sidekick puppy, Samantha, the enemy, Sloane, the girl she's using, Ivy, and the new girl, Erin. Plus several other random points of view. It's interesting to see other points of view than the one of the protagonist.
This book is very interesting, mostly because it's like a mean girls book, but from the mean girls POV. I haven't seen anything else like it. I don't really recommend it to anyone, though. I want to know how it ends, but had I known what it was really about I wouldn't have picked it up.

  1. I like how you expressed your opinion and warned the reader not to choose this book. I also liked some words you chose such as frivolous.
