This was a frustrating read... let's see if we can do without whining.


Black Ice is the story of 17 year old Britt Phieffer who makes a series of terrible choices and almost gets herself and others killed on multiple occasions because of her terrible decisions. There were three things that really bothered me about this book;

1. From the beginning we know that Britt and her apparent only friend are in a super unhealthy relationship because her friend is always pitting them against each other in her head and Britt knows all about this but she just brushes it off and lets her friend be rude and derogatory towards her all the time.
   
2. Most of the book involved romantic sub plot about how she used to be in love with this guy which she is still so obsessed with she's chosen camping over Hawaii because she knows that he'll be there and it seems like she's over him but then she finds out that he cheated on her while they were dating and she still thinks about him constantly. WHY?
   
3. The main romance was when she fell in insta-love with the accomplice of the guy who kidnaps her so even though this guy never actually does anything wrong he is a witness to multiple robberies and multiple murders and does nothing about it. He doesn't even have a warped sense of vigilante justice, he just does nothing about it, and she falls in love with this guy.
   

No, no, no, no, nope.



Ultimately the rating is two stars because it wasn't painful to read, I did finish it without difficulty, but do not and would not recommend it, unless you like reading about teenage girls who make terrible choices.
