Release Date: September 3rd 2019
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Realistic Fiction
Sisters April and Jenn haven’t been close in years. Jenn’s too busy with school, the family antique shop, and her boyfriend, and April would rather play soccer and hang out with the boy next door.
But when April notices her older sister is sad about staying home for college, she decides to do something about it. The girls set off to revive a pact they made as kids: spend an epic day exploring the greatest hits of their childhood and all that Los Angeles has to offer.
Then April learns that Jenn has been keeping a secret that could rip their family—and their feuding parents—apart. With only one day to set things right, the sisters must decide if their relationship is worth saving, or if the truth will tear them apart for good.
Genre: Heart, Romance, Teen--
April is the black sheep of her family, seen as the irresponsible younger sister, but in reality she works hard at soccer and even may have a future due to her skills. Jenn is the diligent, hard working older sister who just can't deal with her parent's fighting anymore- and has a secret looming over her. April knows that something is bothering Jenn but since they are not close anymore she has no idea what. Instead, she decides to make a special day for Jenn, a day that goes horribly wrong- in the best of ways.
I can't remember the last book I read that had a positive or important sibling relationship in it. Actually, I can't remember the last book that had any kind of sibling relationship. Usually, siblings either do not exist or are briefly mentioned as world building, not as real people which is pretty unrealistic if you think about the story as real life. That being said, I was really excited when I heard about She's the Worst and it was a book that was predominantly about the love hate thing between two sisters. And sure there are other topics like growing up and a cute unexpected romance, but the focus of the book was the up and down relationship dynamic between Jenn and April and I was so there for that!
Overall I really liked getting to know April and her spunk and Jenn and her steadfastness- but I absolutely could not stand the parents in the story. This was my first book by Lauren and I loved her writing style and pacing, she was able to get me to read "just another chapter" until I had finished the book without being able to put it down. I will gladly read more from her in the future. I highly recommend She's the Worst if you are a fan of YA contemporary, relationship drama, cute blossoming romance and coming of age stories.
