Lola Caryles 12 Step Romance reminds me of the typical young adult book. It's a fun book to read and the main character is lovely. I like Lola Caryles because she's adorable in some way. The book catches my attention and I don't regret reading this.
I was very surprised by this book. I started out thinking it would be a DNF. The idea of faking an addiction to get a boy seemed horrible when so many people actually do need help. However, it became a really funny, quirky story of Lola's growth. When it came down to it, she did need the Sunrise Center and met some real people along the way. Not those affected by fame, image, and money like her parents. I can't write about this book without mentioning Adam. Adam! He was key in helping Lola deal with her inner pain and destructive tendencies. Adam was also super sweet and funny! Ah. Loved it. Wanted a little bit more in regards to her parents and her apparent reliance on food. Wish we could have seen those things developed. Great read!
I just couldn't get on board with a teen girl pretending to be addicted to drugs to get into rehab to win her crush's affections. I feel like it minimizes the severity of drug addiction, and that's upsetting. I would not recommend this title.
I have read this title but I was unable to review this book before it was archived. I'm working through a back log of reviews and intend to feature it on my blog in the future.
