The Complete History Of Why I Hate Her (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Nola takes a summer job in Maine, partly to get away from her family in Massachusetts for a bit. She meets lots of new people,m including her zany room-mate, Carly and some boys who are counselors at a nearby camp. As always, things aren't as easy as one would like them to be, especially where friends and family are concerned. Nola runs into a bit more drama than she planned for, that's for sure.Some kissing, definitely nothing graphic. May also have been a small amount of teen drinking... Title is misleading, there is no complete history here. Instead it is a story about one friend trying to find her voice and another who lies and is a bit of a stalker (however, we never really get any back story here, it is like we ar just supposed to understand that some people are just like this). The story is set in Maine (the author lives in Cumberland, ME) and there are some authentic descriptions of Maine landscape, summer life, and seafood.

The going was slow with this one, but then it began to pick up and I enjoyed it more. Quick read.

the protagonist was annoying and a little too clueless. i might just be too old for this book.
