Maybe it’s the style of writing, maybe it’s geared strictly for young adults, maybe it’s that I can’t get past the too frequent foul language to focus in on the story, but clearly, Looking Forward is not my kind of book.
The story is interesting and based on real life, so there’s a sense of sorrow for Mallory Hunt, a teenaged, awkward wealthy kid who felt insecure in a class of beautiful blondes. Maybe that’s what got her years later to shape up, go into the world of high fashion as a model and completely change her exterior, but obviously not what really makes her tick.
Through far too many pages…the book is 417 pages long./…..Malory tells the story of falling in love, out of love, into drugs, out of drugs, into abortion, out of abortion, in an out of Europe, Asia and America, all because of her apparent love for a former member of her favorite band. She’s free in expressing her pain, her drama in life, her humiliations and triumphs, her love affair and far too much drama.
But even with interest in the story, reading it is more difficult because of all the interruptions of the text. The book is way too full of photos of text messages, drawings, empty pages, prologues, epilogue and finally a thanks. Looking Forward
The book is about a stupid, self-centered little girl who doesn’t want to grow up and is in love with an even more stupid, self-centered, egotist without a heart.
Not what I look for in entertainment reading.
