Aren't I fast? 300 pages for an all nighter...and it was less than an hour! Basically, this book lets the readers to make decisions for the protagonist. I don't know how this blog is going to work out since the decision making for the reader makes it hard for the story to seem real especially when the story is in third person. I'll give you a quick summary of my short journey:
Haley Miller arrives at school. She picks a clique. The popular crowd at the Court Yard or the alternative at the Parking Lot. I picked the Parking Lot because I find alternative people much more interesting.
Haley hangs out with the alternative people. One of them, Sasha, is being out of character by having an odd lot of cash in her backpack. Her other friend, Irene, invites her to eat at her buffet. Apparently, Sasha is a soccer player so that gave the option to Haley to go to the soccer game and play with Sasha, and find out why she's being out of character. Or, she can go to the buffet and eat. Ummm, since I ain't a soccer gal, I went to eat.
That brings me to Irene's buffet. Irene and Haley chat about Irene winning an art contest and receiving free tickets to San Fransisco. One of them is offered to Haley but Haley isn't sure would her parents even let her. Before, when Haley was with her family driving to the buffet, her mom offered to go shopping. These were the two choices: plan the trip or go shopping. As far as I know, Haley was 15 and I doubted her parents would even bother to let her go alone with friends on a trip like that. So I didn't wanna bother with planning the trip since I guess the characters wouldn't even get to San Fran! I decided shopping.
During the shopping spree, Haley finds 4 pieces. A purple beaded top that reminded her of a popular chick. A preppy tweed skirt that reminded her of a girl that was in her class. A pair of brown suade moccasin boots that reminded her of Sasha. And last, a black sweater with multiple functions that reminded her of Irene. I as the reader had to pick which one she should buy. It was hard for me to decided between the purple top and tweed skirt. But then I ended up with the purple top because tweed is hard to match. I know I am weird!
Anyhow, that led me to being hanging out with the popular crowd, at a party called SIGMA? No idea. Haley and those people started to play strip poker. The players can put one piece of clothing into the pot or take a shot. I had to between those two for Haley or have her go home. I thought about each consequce. Haley was wearing skimpy clothing already so if she loses many rounds, she'll be naked by the end! The body is a temple!!! Drinking could get her drunk and she'll have the possibility of getting caught by her parents after the party (the smell of alcohol is very strong). Leaving the party was a nono for me, because I wanna know how this strip party goes. I picked taking the shot. Haley ended up drunk, getting caught and having consequences. That was the end of the journey for me...
But I read the other options to find out what else was in the book. I left her alone with a creepy guy named Luke and things got steamy....but her dad walked in. Ha.
I thought this story had too many missing parts. What did you think? How was your journey? Why did you pick those decisions?

PS. I have no idea what to read next. I asked my sibling and she said something girly and funny. Or should I read something serious?
