I bought this thinking it was [bc:The Cheerleader|107923|The Cheerleader|Ruth Doan MacDougall|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348312048s/107923.jpg|104009], so we'll see what this REALLY ends up being!
I loved the first two sections of this book! I thought the writing style and perspective was unique, clever and engaging. I was not as pleased with the last two sections. I didn't like the shift in perspective and I wasn't totally convinced by the descriptions of a mental breakdown.
Speaking of recurring features in my reading: I love stories about college girls who lose it. This and Heartbreak Hotel are two favorites.
