![]() ![]() She’s exactly the kind of girl so many of us knew in high school that we wanted to maintain a friendship with, but her own self-sabotaging nature and refusal to consider the feelings of others resulted in the relationship ending because she would drag people down with her. ![]() The writing itself was great, the conflict between characters was great, but I think Leah’s poor attitude was indulged in far too much and for far too long for me to actually enjoy it. Especially when you’re painfully aware of how your actions come across to others. ![]() You can be withdrawn, have inner turmoil, have issues with other people.and still not be a jerk. ![]() Her situation is understandable, but her insistence on embracing jerk as part of her personality is frustrating and disappointing. If she was unaware of her faults, it would have been much easier to get through, but she REPEATEDLY exhibits how self-aware of her attitude she is, and her reluctance to change is just disgusting. I am (apparently) in the minority with this, considering the glowing reviews, but I find her a tremendously unsympathetic character. While I enjoyed the journey back to Creekwood, and the familiar tensions of change that the end of high school brings, I could not stand Leah. ![]()
