Book Review: 24 Girls in 7 Days by Alex Bradley

Hey guys,

I think by now, with total two of my book reviews, it's been established that I start my book reviews with a standout quote from the book. Not it this case. Why?
Because it f****** sucked.
Now you may ask yourselves why did I bother to read it?

I read the book in two days, which isn't because it was sooo amazing and I couldn't put it down. It was because it was an extremely easy and quick read. And as I mentioned I've set a reading goal - 50 books in a year. And the best summarization of this book is this: It starts promising and fails miserably.

Spoilers

The first few chapters were funny and entertaining. The style was also good, and the direction which it was going seemed quite full with potential, but it missed the mark a big time.
So, the plot is this as posted on GoodReads:

 There are few things sadder than Jack Grammar's love life.
So when his friends take it upon themselves to get him a date to the prom by placing an intensely humiliating ad in the school paper, they think they are doing him a favor. Jack doesn't agree. But then the most amazing thing happens: responses to the ad are overwhelming. So overwhelming, in fact, that Jack must narrow the list down. A lot. Not an easy task. Turns out, the girls at City High are quite competitive. From drive-by flashings to breaking and entering to cell phone stalkers, these potential prom dates will stop at nothing to snag the suddenly popular Jack. How will he ever choose just one?

If you ask me the only thing sadder than Jack's love life was Jack himself. He was pretentious, absolutely delusional and the protagonist which was the biggest idiot that I've ever read about. Imagine someone who had basically never been on a date, his friends post an ad about him searching a date for the prom and suddenly hundreds of girls want to date him. If you were him you would think there's something fishy, right? But not our Jack. Yes, he thinks to himself wow, why are so many girls into me when until yesterday no one even knew my name; but ultimately he doesn't see the problem and in the span of this one week his ego actually becomes bigger than the Eiffel Tower.
Not to mention, how unrealistic it was that all of the girls who desperately wanted to be his date were all these amazing quirky girls (even those who weren't lied to by his friends to go out with Jack). and on top of all he has these romantic moments with most of them, as a result Jack as the idiot he is likes pretty much every one of them. AND. AND HE ACTUALLY BEGINS TO LIKE HIS BEST FRIEND'S LITTLE SISTER WHO IS ONLY 13. Thankfully, the writer decided that this wasn't acceptable and we witness only a hypothetical conversation between them when he admits that he likes her.
Oh, and let's not forget that he thought he was in love with this 13 years old girl's older sister. And they made out and were even a couple for the grand total of 5 hours. And he likes another girl, and another girl and other mysterious girl who he chats with. Basically Jack is somewhat of a f***boy who doesn't know what he wants but masks it all under the pretense of searching for his big love.
And I know that most people need time to meet their soulmate and you're bound to like several people but don't forget that the plot of the book is unfolding in 7 days.
Of course, I think that there are people who would like this book, but my opinion is that your life would actually be better if you pass on it.
