What a tedious bit of waffle to go with an awesome title and idea. Seriously, this could have been a bright spot in YA stories but it's buried under ridiculously inane and cliche teen angst and bad editing. Some parts were actually entertaining and that's why 1 1/2 stars. I'd hoped to feel some nos...

I absolutely loved the first scavenger hunt in this story. Despite my lameness at them, I think scavenger hunts are pretty fantastic; mostly, I like the idea of them because it means clues and adventures and hauling weird crap around.

1.5 starsThe Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life just did not do anything for me. The main character, Mary, was annoying and the story was predictable.

Mary is trying to win the senior scavenger hunt to prove that she’s worth something and she ends up discovering more than just items off of a list – she discovers herself and what it means to grow up...

Oyster Point seniors get to take part of what may be the best dumb teenage antic excuse in history: a scavenger hunt. Mary and her friends, Patrick, Winter, and Dez, are planning to make this their last hurrah after four years of being slighted and made second-tier to bully Jack Barbone and his popu...

The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life is by no means The Best Book You’ve Ever Read in Your (Pathetic) Life, but it may just be the most original. This was a novel that was brimming with unique flavor, ideas, and creativity which I absolutely adored. While I wish that Altebrando had managed to tak...
