Getting the Boot by Peggy Guthart Strauss
3.0
3.0 our of 5 stars
I definitely read this as a teen too but I only vaguely remember reading it. However this is probably my least favorite of all the SASS books because Kelly is just such a bland and awful character at the beginning.
She wants to go to Italy because like duh there’s like so much like shopping and like hot boys. Right off the bat she starts hanging/dating this "bad boy" from California who literally DRUGS HER DRINK later in the book and yet she still sees no issue with blowing off studying, going out partying, and the fact that he somehow (and it wasn’t ever explained) got a master key so they could miss curfew without getting in trouble. So basically you’re wasting a study abroad program?! And I get that there are people that actually do this- trust me I’ve seen it happen, but if she was late all the time and missing as much class as she was I’m pretty sure the school would have stepped in.
Anyway.. it’s not until she is literally a social outcast and threatened to be sent home from the program that she sent SEVENTY EMAILS OR SO TO GET OFF THE WAIT LIST TO GET INTO that she finally is like of f*ck maybe I need to actually focus on this. That’s literally only the first half of the book, but the other ones in this series are the ones I tend to like better (like Pardon My French and French Kissmiss for example lol)
This one was just too spoiled rich girl for me. Plus she was too focused on trying to change everyone else than realizing that she should be focusing on her classes and it was too much like every 2000’s chick flick to me.
