What The Spell?. Brittany Geragotelis (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Ugh, this book is atrocious. It’s just unbelievably appalling.Brooklyn is one of the worst female characters ever. She’s self-absorbed, stupid, superficial, has a superiority complex, lies, manipulates people (literally), and is just horrible. First of all, I don’t know or get what her obsession is with becoming popular and joining the Elite is. It’s not as if joining them will solve your poor body image you have of yourself or your insecurities. It’ll just be a mask to cover your troubles before it gets ripped off.Everyone in this book must be dense or dumb as heck because once Brooklyn gets her powers she changes EVERYTHING about her appearance. Giving herself blonder hair, changes her eye color, makes herself taller, and, of course, has to give her herself the prerequisite big boobs and ass. Not to mention the absolutely perfect and stunning skin complexion. LIKE NO ONE NOTICES THIS CHANGE OVERNIGHT?! REALLY?! The Elite just thinks she got real good plastic surgery (come on, gag me now!) and her parents tell her she should just be careful and not overdo her magic use. WHAT KINDA PARENTS ARE YOU?! Damn enablers.The Elite are just terrible people. Bullies out to destroy the lives of others that don’t agree with them or present them with a problem. They want everything and will do anything to get what they want even if it means tearing down other people and ruining their lives to get it. Brooklyn, however, keeps going along with their schemes and there are moments where she feels conflicted and bad that hey what they’re doing is NOT GOOD, she continues on with them anyway. Ugh.Her boyfriend, what was his name? IS A FREAKING SAINT! He liked her before she started in on her crazy hijinks and still managed to tolerate her even when she became so fake and superficial upon joining the Elite. He was so supportive and tried to be understanding even though he vastly disapproved of what she was doing and what the Elite did. Although, the amount of lying Brooklyn did to him made me want to RIP ALL THE PAGES OUT OF THIS BOOK.Then later she cheats on him by making out with another guy because HEY, declaring it not official or exclusive means you’re free to dally around with other guys. NO WAY. THAT IS STUPID. If you are both in a serious relationship and not seeing other people YOU ARE THEREFORE EXCLUSIVE. The worst part is when Brooklyn and the Elite are caught for all the terrible shit they/she were doing and Brooklyn has the NERVE to gaslight her boyfriend about his anger, betrayal, and hurt feelings. WHAT THE FUCK. Look up gaslighting on Wikipedia if you’re not familiar with the concept. Only terrible people do this shit to other people.UGH, THIS BOOK IS AWFUL. I hate Brooklyn, I hate this book, and I hate all the messages it sent to readers in the story. The only reason I really wanted to read this book is because it had such a funny, witty title. Not anymore.STAY AWAY. FAR AWAY. Omigod. I sware every second I was reading this book I was about to KILL Brooklyn. She was so freaking annoying. Some spoilers.1. She wanted to be popular. WHY????2. Ms. Z tried to tell her that it wouldn't matter after high school but Brooklyn thinks it will. WHY???3. She kept lying to Asher. WHY???? (I'm going to keep saying that by the way)4. She thinks helping the Elite is a good use of her magic. WHY????? like WTF???5.She agreed to break up Shayla and Tucker. I wouldn't do that. I'd take the blow. Plus she sould have already told Asher she drunk-kissed some other guy.6.Even when the things the Elite wanted her to do became fricking ridiculous, she STILL did it. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????7. She couldnt see that the Elite were conceited and annoying till the end. WHY, WHY, and WHYYYYYY???Ugh i hated her soooooo much.
