Little Black Dresses, Little White Lies by Laura StamplerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh. My. Gosh! First off thank you to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read Little Black Dresses, Little White Lies. So just yesterday I was complaining about how I keep getting books that I just can't stand, even to the point of dnf-ing at twenty percent, or having to force myself to read it which always bothers me, reading is and always should be something fun, not comparable to doing chores. Anyway, I was unbelievably happy to find that Little Black Dresses, Little White Lies was one of the best books I've ever read in this genre, most of the time I go for a different kind of book mainly because I find these... predictable, but sometimes I'll read one just for fun. And I went in thinking I knew every twist and turn that was gonna happen and when I finished I could just chalk it up to a "fun light read" my suspicions were only confirmed when on her first day of work we met the "mean girl"of the book, so in my mind from that point on there were two options. 1. She fights with the "mean girl" though the whole book ditches her bffs (because don't they always?) but then toward the end she sees the error of her ways and comes out triumphant because she did "right" thing either morally, or just in general. Or options 2. "Mean girl" becomes new bff and in turn she ditches old bff all the while "mean girl" is plotting to screw her over, in this case for teen journalist of the year. So imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find out it was neither, it was a completely new story and I absolutely adored it. I loved Harper, I always felt like she was trying her best, but some of the things she did towards end really didn't make any sense, and when we found out about her first blog (the one that got her the job) I couldn't believe it, I just sat there staring at my tablet thinking, she's a terrible person! But I got over it and decided that she's still a new favorite of mine. And as for the the secondary characters, I don't know if we saw anybody enough for me to really judge without guessing, even the guy she liked, we know hardly anything about him except for a few details.(view spoiler) But all in all a really good book that I'm glad I got to read. Five stars!!
