This story is about Gia, 17 years old daughter of a mafia boss, not just any bosses but the boss of all bosses. At her exclusive Manhattan high school, half of the boys in school are afraid to walk near her, and the other half swoon after for their own sick reasons, which gives her the dubious distinction of being the most hated/loved girl in school. Then one day, she and one of her best friend Ro decided to cut school to go shopping when they were caught for DUI, speeding and no license by anTwo under, DUI, speeding, no license, possibly stolen vehicle, resisting.We. Are. Fucked, Ro whispers.Yeah, I whisper back, staring at Officer Hottie. But it was so worth it. DNF @ 50%I read some mightily terrible books, so I hope you guys understand how severely bad this book was in order for me to call it quits. I HATE marking books DNF. I usually leave them languishing on my shelves, hoping that one day I will revisit them and like them better. Not this one. This book deserves the guillotine
WARNING: review long and full of gifs! Also, please note, I received a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and that is exactly what youre about to get.You know, Ive struggled with even describing how I feel about this bookand this is new to me. Im usually pretty clear on my feelings for any given book. This book, to me, is the literary equivalent of a rebellious teenage step-child, or that one close friend who absolutely will not leave her abusive boyfriend. It infuriates
You can also find this review at YA Midnight Reads I decided to request this book on a limb, as Im going to Italy during the spring and I thought this book would immerse me in not only Italian culture, but also the internal and external conflicts of the Italian mafia. Yeah, this book definitely didnt deliver on any of those things. In fact, anything that could make me react negatively towards a book occurred in Mafia Girl. First off, the writing in this book seemed amateur. Transitions were
Modern day Romero and Juliet. Absoulutely brethtaking. The line between fighting for family or the one yoou love. ANd the realization of seeing someone you love through a new set of eyes, and not bieng able to forgive them.
General Thoughts: Good idea, horrible execution. Everything plot wise was really thrown in the air. Gia was a brat. Gia and Michael were gross. And there's a character named Super Mario and he's a lawyer not a plumber. And now I feel like I need a calzone because this book has generalized Italian American culture way too much.To see full review go to my blog or BooklikesHowdy YALBooklikes
This review was originally posted on my blog, Paperbacks & Protagonists.This will be a short review as I only read a small portion of this book this is the first book that I havent finished. Generally, I would push myself to finish this book, but have decided that if its a book for review, Im not going to do that. Instead, what I will be presenting in this and any future DNF reviews is what I liked about the novel and I will summarise what I didn't like.What I liked about Mafia Girl:* The
