Title: A reaffirming YA read and nothing more
Review: Before starting this book, I finished Oh The Glory of It All by Sean Wilsey. I read Oh the Glory because of Curtis Sittenfeld's recommendation on NPR.Oh the Glory is probably the best thing I got out of Sittenfeld. Please read that book.Sittenfeld has a knack for putting into the words the simple things humans feel and think but don't realize they think and feel. She's not a writer devoid of observation, but Prep has no redeeming qualities.It's true that Lee Fiora is awkward and self-concious like most teens are. But who the hell wants to re-live those painfully awkward and overly self-judgemental times of their lives? Especially when there is no pay-off in sight.Prep should be in the Young Adult section and I'm not sure why it's not.
