4.5/10, wow, this was one of the most insufferable realistic YA books I have ever come across, the low rating of this book almost stopped me from reading it, but I still gave it a try. This book started well, but it got worse as I read more of it. All of the main characters were just so frustrating to read, I didn't enjoy them at all. April and Jenn kept arguing and badmouthing each other until the very end of the book when they reconciled, so I can say they did experience character development, but only in the last few pages, and they were so flat as well.

Their parents were just as bad as well, they kept arguing for pointless reasons, maybe April and Jenn inherited that trait from them? There were some moments that I despised, like when Jenn's parents just used her to run the store, and April's ex-boyfriend just used her as well, but they were resolved eventually. Speaking of, the romance was quite one-dimensional, I couldn't connect to them, and the plot itself is kind of stretched because the two sisters went on a road trip that didn't go so well, and then they find a boyfriend, then quickly resolve all the issues, and that's it? If you want a book with character development and a female lead, try Stepping Stones instead of this book. ( )

*I WAS PROVIDED A PHYSICAL ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER IN RETURN FOR MY HONEST REVIEW. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT MY OPINION*

Have you ever gotten into a big fight with your sibling(s)? Or maybe a long-term fight with a friend? This book is full of those, but in the best ways possible.

April just wants to have a day to reconcile with her older sister Jenn, and she wants to make amends with her. Until Jenn drops the bombshell that throws the whole day into smithereens.

Somethings I really liked about this book were the realistic situations. Parents fighting happens all the time, especially if it's a really stressed situation between them. Children often get caught in the crossfire, feeling like they're unimportant compared to their parents' problems. And this book perfectly conveyed that and the need to escape.

April and Jenn's relationship is a perfect example of every day happenings. Arguments every other hour, best friends once every thirty minutes, the need to be close and comfortable. It's all there.

Though this book had a bunch of great parts, it also had its downfalls. There were multiple points in the book that I felt needed to be sped up or left out altogether. Other than that though, I absolutely adored reading She's the Worst. For that, I rate this novel 4 stars. ( )
