Review:

I don't even know where to begin with this novel. I just found it for free on Amazon kindle and I wasn't expecting much from it but then I found myself cringing, creeped out, and laughing throughout the entire thing. Greta's obsession with Blake and the flashbacks about her previous obsession with a boy named Johnny are just nuts. She has completely deluded herself into believing she has relationships with these guys and it'd be one thing to read about her disturbingness from the point of view from her stalking victims but to read her thoughts and get the entire story from her makes everything at least 7.3 times more uncomfortable.

The story is pretty straightforward, Greta arrives at college and falls in love with Blake at first sight, then is jealous of her roommate, Amber, for dating him, and she spends the novel trying to get Blake to be with her instead, through any means necessary. But what kept me going was the fact that Greta's life was a trainwreck that I couldn't look away from. I don't want to give away too much but through multiple acts of arson, having sex with random truck drivers, sleeping naked under someone's bed, and a scene straight outta Compton "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," Greta gets into some pretty bizarre situations and they are what keep the story flowing even when it doesn't seem like much is happening.

I like the way the novel jumps between Greta's high school story and her college story and the way the high school story goes is not how you see it going, and just when you think the college story may end the same way, something happens that throws everything off and sets up for what are sure to be strange sequels. I don't have any complaints about Boyfriend Glasses. It's fun, original, unpredictable, and one of the best books I've read in a long time. I highly recommend giving this series a try.

Boyfriend Glasses is available for free on Amazon Kindle, and in paperback at the Book Depository.
