Blog Tour: Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend by Louise Rozett Review

Hi Fellow Readers,

While reading Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend by Louise Rozett, I continued to journey back into my confusion of doing the right responses that I experienced during high school. This walk of confusion began last year when I read Confessions of an Angry Girl.

Yet, I am starting ahead of myself. Today I am beyond ecstatic to participate in the blog tour of Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend hosted by YA Bound. The tours full schedule can be found here!

Aren't both covers a wonderful? One shows angst and the other shows hiding from the problem. Both images correlate with Rose, the main character's reactions throughout the respecting book.

Book Synopsis:

Rose Zarelli has big plans for sophomore year—everything is going to be different. This year, she’s going to be the talented singer with the killer voice, the fabulous girl with the fashionista best friend, the brainiac who refuses to let Jamie Forta jerk her around...

...but if she’s not careful, she’s also going to be the sister who misses the signals, the daughter who can only think about her own pain, the “good girl” who finds herself in mid-scandal again (because no good deed goes unpunished) and possibly worst of all...the almost-girlfriend.

When all else fails, stop looking for love and go find yourself.

My review:

Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend by Louise Rozett ranks among my top books primarily because all the characters are special.

Oh Rose. She is a marvelous person. Very assertive and humorous. 

Oh Lena. She is a caring friend.

Oh Regina. She still remains vicious towards Rose. Still, she is not a careless tormentor. She is a real person with a startling history.

Oh Robert and Holly! They are such a great couple. I like how they are both kind actors. Though I wish Robert just told Holly the truth about his past love for Rose in the beginning of their relationship.

Oh Tracy! I love your fashion blog revolution. A brave response to a taunting website page.

Oh Stephanie! She is so sweet.

This book is a whirlwind of events and terrific lines. I felt for all the characters throughout. My favorite scene was when Tracey, Rose and Stephanie were celebrating while the first day of school. Rose was of course hoping that this year would be better and doubting a better year would be real.

My top reason that I like Rose is how easy it is to relate to her and sympathize with her struggle to make the correct choices. She feels the similar desires I feel like trying to constantly a confident exterior. I often daydream like Rose about the day ahead. I like how much she appreciates her friends. I wish she knew three facts of life: that it is hard to handle what happens in life, that answers are nonexistent and that personal enemies may need assistance. I related to her experience singing in the chorus since I often had a belting voice that can be noticeable to a musical director’s ears that is looking for symphonized voices. The "Sing lower." command can become really annoying. 

This is a delightful book with a caring main character. It is bemusing in the way Rose’s walk of confusion was felt by me too. While reading, I had no clue of what Rose should do. And the ending results are the most surprising.
