In FML by Shaun Hutchinson, Simon Cross is your average
geeky teenager who is hopelessly in love with the most
popular girl at school who hardly even knows him. This book
is told in duel points of view which I liked, I also liked
being able to see everything from each characters
perspective.
I didn't really care for the character of Simon he came off
to me as a little too obsessed with Cassie and she hardly
even knew who he was. He is obsessed with her because of a
date they had three years ago and I'm pretty sure Cassie
doesn't even remember it. If I was Simon I would have given
up on trying to make Cassie fall in love with me a long time
ago. Simon does everything he can to get her to even notice
him and some of the things he does are a little creepy. I
liked the character of Cassie she was not your typical
perfect girl, she just got dumped by her boyfriend and I
kind of expected her to be prissy and mean but she surprised
me and I really enjoyed reading from her point of view.
Hutchinson has an interesting concept with the alternating
chapters. Simon has two different story lines in FML, both
of which eventually lead him to the party. The plot was
fairly fast paced, and I kept reading because I wanted to
know how the two different stories would tie together, but
this isn't one I'm going to particularly recommend since it
did not work for me. FML is not your typical book, it is
very unique and different. I believe it will only appeal to
a certain type of reader.
There’s more than one way to get the girl in this fun and
fast-paced novel about one epic party and a kiss that could
change everything.
Tonight’s the night: Simon’s big chance to finally get with
Cassie. Cassie, who he’s loved for ages. Cassie, who is
newly boyfriend-free. Cassie, who just happens to be
throwing the biggest party of the year. Simon’s plan is
simple: He’ll go to the party, she’ll fall in love with him,
they’ll make out like crazy, and the night will be a
complete success.
But things don’t ever go as planned…especially when it comes
to Cassie.
In two alternating plotlines, Simon goes after the girl of
his dreams and stumbles toward his destiny. It’s one night,
one party, and a thousand ways for things to go wrong…but a
million ways for them to go right.
