review 1: Anna comes from a life of privilege until her whole world falls apart. Her mother leaves her father high and dry out of the blue. Her father is devastated over the whole thing and pretty much shuts down emotionally and retreats into himself. It falls onto Anna's shoulders to take on a more parental role and help her father pack up, move and start over in their original home town.At first I wasn't sure if this was a believable plot of a rich girl turned working girl, but as the story went on and you watch Anna grow as a person - from being spoiled to working hard for what she has, learning how quick your rich friends drop you and how fake their friendships might have truly been to making new friends who accept you no matter when you come from or what you do. It's a great st... moreory of life's challenges and overcoming obstacles. And it also has a sexy and steamy romance tossed into the mix. Her boyfriend from elementary school just happens to be single and smoking hot. They develop quite a habit of heavy flirting and you have to see whether she sticks with her perfect boyfriend from back in New York or goes for the sexy, kindergarten teacher.I'm looking forward to the next installment to see what happens next for Anna.
review 2: I received a copy of this book from Xpresso Book Tours for the review opportunity in exchange for an honest review. This, in no way, will affect my review of the book.Reading the synopsis of One Broke Girl, I did not expect much from it, but I figured that I will at least enjoy the story, so I requested it. I did not expect how much I would love it and would learn from it! I am definitely happy that I gave this book a chance despite others' bad reviews on Goodreads.One Broke Girl is about Anna, whose mom left their family and emptied the bank account. As a result, Anna and her dad has to move back Ohio, their hometown. Anna figured that she could get a good job and go back to New York as fast as possible, but she ends up working as a lunch lady instead. With a depressed dad who wouldn't find a job, everything seems to go wrong in Anna's life. But she reconnects with her childhood friend Natalie, who then introduced her to Bianca, and then she meets the charming kindergarten teacher, Gavin.This book started out really great and continued to be great! Anna felt down at the start, but with Natalie and Bianca to cheer her up, she quickly got back on her own two feet. I loved Natalie and Bianca, who were the epitome of a true good friend. They never left Anna when she needed them the most, and even when she didn't need them, they were there. I loved Bianca's quirk and honesty, as it was refreshing to see that kind of personality. I loved how Anna changed from someone who looked down upon the janitors and lunch ladies, to working three jobs herself. I loved how Gavin was understanding, and I loved how their relationship progressed.One Broke Girl was a short read, but it was a beautiful short read. Reading this book was humbling because I learned things about life as Anna learned them. Sure, we're not super ric h or anything, but I am able to live comfortably and have occasional shopping sprees like Anna used to. Anna's experience taught me so much, and her resilience in this journey taught me never to give up. I love how she learned, and I fully recommend everyone to read this one!I was actually gonna give this one 4.5 stars, but I didn't like some parts near the end, so I'm giving it 4 stars! less
