The Chick Friends Rules! Freshman Year by Vici Howard

I'm a boy and I was disturbed by Grant's cookoo behavior.It was like watching a train wreck.

His father issues and the jealousy he has for sister Lexie spills over into dangerous territory. Grant is a seriously trouble young man in desperate need of psychiatric help. I think these books are for older tenns, not middle-schoolers because there's lots of teens having sex. This series has become my guilty pleasure but I still can't give it 5 stars because I'm a woman and there's a high level of misogyny that goes on in the chick friends franchise which I don't understand since the author is a woman. Grant loves Lear too, they truly have a bromance going on and it's nice to see boys can have a close relationship with their besties also. He still has dreads but he's a reformed pot smoker and now that he has a surprise love interest he's gone from stupid rocker kid to sweet musician who plays love songs on his guitar. She is the only girl in the entire series that can control bow wow doggie Grant. The author brought her back sophomore year and added some depth to the character and in junior year she's a force to be reckoned with. Freshman year she was a forgettable character, a one time hook-up added for fluff. I'm starting to like his ex-girlfriend Shauna and her metamorphosis from freshman year to junior year. The author keeps trying to make him human by adding in these sensitive moments where the reader feels sorry for him but I'm not buying it. His poor girlfriend Marta goes through a difficult time and while she's put in a humbling predicament Grant, her class A a**hole of a boyfriend is off doing all kinds of things with all kinds of girls. Just when I thought he learned his lesson by the end of the book he's a class A a**hole again. I'm not going to give away the good part but the meat of junior year is he meets this girl Yasmine and they have an 'encounter', he panics and freaks the hell out and does something so awful, I mean horrible, terrible awful that it takes the whole book for him to recover. I liked him in freshman year, he was a jerk in sophomore year but he's a class A a**hole in junior year.

HE GOT WORSE!!!!! I can't believe this kid. I didn't think Grant could get any worse.
