Book Review of Oh My Goth

Oh My Goth
Oh My Goth
Author: Gena Showalter
Genre: Teen & Young Adult
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 2


I loved this book. Maybe it's for people who were more of the outcast compared to the popular people..but for me I could relate to Jade in this book as being the outcast of my school. From the teachers singling you out, to kids throwing stuff at you, it was done to me just like it was done to Jade. And I wasn't even a full out goth (closet goth as we called them in school...aka those of us who wanted to be goth but couldn't be because of jobs etc etc etc) But I loved the suspense in this book and how everyone had to deal with their situations. Granted Jade was a little bit rude and upset about the information she found out about her family..but in all honesty...how would you have acted? Probably the same way. Think about it. (I won't go into detail..but you'll understand when you get there)

So if you want a good read, this is it. And I'm amazed since it was an MTV book that it didn't contain more fould language (there are spots) and more sex topics (again there are parts) etc etc etc. Kinda mild for what I'm used to seeing on MTV.
