Uninvited by Amanda Marrone


Uninvited is a huge disappointment.

The plot is thin at best and the characters are self indulgent, poorly created and more interested in sex, drugs, drinking and partying and while these topics don't normally bother me, it does when it is geared into a fashion that makes it seem "cool" and acceptable.

The cover and write up on the back of the book is inviting. I was hoping for a quick, easy, fun read and instead I got a read that took much longer than necessary to read.

Do not, Do not, purchase this book, check it out from the library or borrow it.


Grade: D





Synopsis

When rejection comes back to bite you...

Jordan's life sucks. Her boyfriend, Michael, dumped her, slept his way through half the student body, and then killed himself. But now, somehow, he appears at her window every night, begging her to let him in.

Jordan can't understand why he wants her, but she feels her resistance wearing down. After all, her life — once a broken record of boring parties, meaningless hookups, and friends she couldn't relate to — now consists of her drinking alone in her room as she waits for the sun to go down.

Michael needs to be invited in before he can enter. All Jordan has to do is say the words....
