Love You, Hate You: Ballet School Confidential

A potentially good plot, but the characters are incredibly stereotyped (there's the stupid skinny girl, the eating-disordered girl that the teachers all pick on, the new girl, the new boy, the gay boy, the mean teacher...). There's not much aside from dialogue here, and, like, waaay too many of the, like, characters talk in this totally moronic way. I mean, like, it's SO annoying because you can't, like, understand what they're even saying. For, like, an entire chapter. The author is obviously trying to emulate how a stupid teenage girl speaks, but lays it on far too thick.This book could be good, but just isn't well-written. Too bitty, too many characters that have no important role to play other than say something else unkind which could just have easily been said by the chief mean girl. I assume there's a sequel as the book basically just stops with no closure whatsoever, which is no way at all to end a book that's sold alone.
