it was ok

Could see this really happening, an opportunity for teenagers to anonymously savage their peers online. They were given the chance to vote on whether certain girls were 'worthy' of the guys they were dating and then make whatever snarky comments they wanted. The opposite wasn't true; no one questioned whether the guys 'deserved' the girls they were dating. And it definitely impacted relationships as a result.

But I just found it a little clunky; it's hard for me to rate a novel highly if I don't really care about the characters. The protagonist was a twit who was a willing participant on the app, damaging her relationship with her best friend as a result, and throwing a hissy fit at her new boyfriend and blaming it on the app instead of acting like a calm, rational person and listening to him instead of flouncing off wailing that she's never going to find love because she's undeserving of it.

And the logic behind the creation of the app was pretty thin; it was like 'oops we're at the end of the story and we need to come up with the guilty party.' However, I'll admit that the bottom of the final page was a creative ending, although it is highly unlikely the administration would ever allow the notice to happen given the drama with 'Worthy.'
