Nothing by Annie Barrows
2.0
I got this book as an ARC from the bookstore where I work. This in no way changes by review.
We don't get a lot of YA ARCs at my bookstore and I have a 13yo, so I try and pick them up when we do get them. I won't be passing this one along. This is a book that kind of makes up on current YA and that idea could have been fun, but in the end, it's a book about nothing and while Seinfeld did this concept well, this book did not. There were some funny moments, but overall, there wasn't really a plot and I guess I'm too old, but I didn't get a lot of the slang. None of it hurt the story suffered because of it, it was just annoying. Though, to be fair, I'm not the target audience.
