The View from the Top by Hillary Frank


"Eighteen-year-old Anabelle’s last few months in her coastal hometown are bittersweet. Instead of the quiet precollege summer she expects, Anabelle makes some surprising discoveries about herself as she navigates romantic entanglements and changing friendships. Through shifting points of view in seven interconnected stories, we glimpse the limits of how well her friends really know Anabelle . . . and how little she grasps about the way they see her.
With wry observations and quirky humor, critically acclaimed novelist Hillary Frank gives voice and depth to six unique characters whose stories intertwine to form a complete picture of one shared summer." -Goodreads.com

The View From The Top bugged me so much... Pretty much hated all of it except for 1 person's point of view... The reason I didn't like it was that EVERYONE (except the one point of view) was in love with Anabelle... God it was so annoying. And it didn't even span out at times for the rest of the book, it was like after one person's point of view was done they were out of the book. I also feel like the book wasn't really even finished, felt like I was reading a rough draft or something...

2 stars only because I liked one of the point of views.
