review 1: I really enjoyed Playing Nice. It wasn't a deep or life changing book but it was a great story with a good message and was very relatable. I felt a connection to both Marty and Lil and could tell you who my Lil is and how much meeting her changed my life. The story also reminded me how much extra bs teens have to deal with now that were not issues when I was in high school. The internet and facebook give a whole other level of horrible and bullying that I worry about for my kids. I would recommend to any upper mid/ high school age girls who would enjoy a story about finding who you are through who you pretend to be.
review 2: As I began reading this book, there were moments that actually made me sad for the rest of the book. Some things (especially in regards t... moreo Marty's characteristics) were so cliché and stereotypical that I thought I wouldn't finish the book. I mean, there are innocent girls, but I highly doubt any high school girl is thinking what Marty's thinking in the early chapters. I bought this book on a whim because it was on sale in the kindle store and I was kind of in the mindset of "eh whatever I didn't pay that much for it." But as the book progressed it got less and less cliché and became just a story about two friends. Once you swallow down the first few chapters, the characters are really well developed and there's a sense of reality that just comes off of the pages. There's this reality in the way Marty loves someone who won't love her back, the way she feels like something is wrong in her life, and the way she wants to make a change that I haven't found in many other books. I felt like that really overshadowed the first few chapters and made for a good book.Oh, and points for a cool soundtrack. The ending gets about 50x cooler if you actually listen to "Human" by The Killers after reading. less
